| Description: | Contrast is light a little shaky in imagery A mysterious blaze followed by a detonation of grain dust wrecks the Kansas Missouri elevator with a loss of $5000,000 causing two deaths and injury to nine firemen. Battling the blaze from twin head-houses, the firemen are imprisoned by the blast which cuts off all means of escape. Searchers comb the wreckage after the terrible disaster for survivors of the catastrophe, struggling in the stifling heat to succor their ill-fated pals. | |
