He buys a mine up in the hills and moves hismself and his wife (Barbara Peyton) up into the cave. But all doesn't go as planned. The public turns on them (after they've been used on TV in a publicity stunt) and then they discover that the mine is earhtquake prone and that they aren't ssafe in it. But all is well in the end when they discover a rich vein of gold running through the old mine. Memorable screen gem and a novel twist on what is now known as the "Survivalist Movement."
