Nina and her best friend, Trixie, want to be archaeologists. They find a summer job on a mesa in Colorado digging up Indian ruins and catapult themselves into a murder mystery. The lead archaeologist, Dr. Van Der Meer, has just been murdered. His son, Josh Jr., has just taken over his millionaire father’s dig. But queer things are going on at 7000 feet. Other workers are being murdered and disappearing. The late archaeologist’s daughter gets crippled in her attempts to set things street. But Josh Jr. seems to be hiding something up his sleeve. When Nina and Trixie try to help, Josh Jr. threatens to arrest them. Nina had better get out of here before she gets pushed off a mountain ledge herself.
