In the mining town of Grass
Valley in 1872, the euphoria
of the Gold Rush is a distant
memory. At the region's
industrial mines, the Eureka, but the miners fear its terrible

pay is just $3 a day. Anew an institution whose very exinvention, dynamite, will istence justifies their fears — an
increase their productivity, orphanage. The institution
faces closure over an unpaid
debt. Based on historical records, this educational “docudrama” tells a captivating
California tale. In Part 1,a
strike threatens the household
of gold miner Jack Wales.
