Synopsis: Dr. Hillebrand, an archaeologist, found sites no one else could; no one knew that it was because he communicated regularly with the spirit of a long departed Indian who told him where to look for relics. He grew old and lonely and his spirit adviser counseled him to leave the world. The younger men in his department are left looking for ways to continue his work.
