In the Mohave Desert, Olga runs a gas station, lunch counter, and auto camp with her younger sister Myra. In a 24-hour period, Olga must deal with Myras desire to go to a town dance with a cad, the appearance happenstance of George, an old boyfriend whose conduct is never above suspicion, and the overnight presence of two women recently divorced in Reno, who, with a chauffeur, are carrying valuable jewels. George gets wind of the jewels and plays with Olgas heartstrings to set up a robbery. Myra arranges to sneak off with her beau. Its hot, and the heat lightening is crackling on the horizon. Is Olgas life of peace and hard work in the desert about to change for the worse?
