Dangerous Mission

Louise Graham witnesses the murder of a New York City crime boss and flees the East to hide out working as a gift shop cashier in Glacier National Park. Her fleeing has been noted by parties on both sides of the incident. Two men head to Montana to follow up on her. One is Matt Hallett, an ex-Marine and undercover NYPD detective for the district attorney. His assignment is to protect Louise so that she can give eye-witness testimony. The other is Paul Adams, posing as a photographer but in reality a ruthless New York hit man who's been paid to silence her. Louise is unaware of either man's affiliation. She thinks that both are trying to win her affection. Also at the lodge in Glacier is Native American Mary Tiller, a brilliant award-winning scholar whose overriding worries center on her father, Katoonai, a wanted fugitive from the White man's justice. Glacier's Chief Ranger Joe Parker thinks Katoonai is innocent. He is not so sure about Hallett's motives. He was alerted by an entrance station ranger that Hallett had a pistol stashed in his glove box. It was seen when Hallett placed his park brochures in with it. All sorts of excitement happens in Glacier. First and avalanche sends an armada of boulders crashing down the hillside and into the home of the Elsters who are hosting a dance party. Next, a forest fire breaks out in the park prompting Chief Joe to conscript both Hallett and Adams as fire crew members. Ultimately, Adams' cover is blown and he has to evade a net of law enforcement that is closing in. He opts to take a route across the glaciers. Hallett pursues him.
