Casper and his gang undertake to capture the girl and revenge themselves upon Percy. The villains tie the girl to a car of sand headed for a fiery furnace. The villain turns the wheel. Percy arrives in time and his weight thrown against the car sends it back to safety. The villain is caught on the wheel and is spun around. The car with Percy and the girl dashes past barriers and goes through a house on which some of the gang are trying to dislodge father, who has been thrown from the cliff and who is hanging to a tree stump. Percy and the girl are cornered on the edge of the cliff and have to take refuge on the rope ladder stretching across the chasm. Percy succeeds in cornering the gang in the powder house and sets the surrounding grass on fire. The gang escapes to the roof, rocking the house on the edge of the cliff. The explosion sends them into the pit. Percy and his friends are reunited. As the villains struggle to extricate themselves a huge quantity of sand is sent down upon them, burying them.
