Suspense: The Big Shot

Charlie Morton, an engineer with a baby-face, takes a job in Mexico with an illegal mining operation.

The company is in the mountains mining quartz that must be quickly smuggled out of the country before it is discovered by the government, the local bandits, or the nearby residents.

To complicate matters, Quinn, the boss of the operation, must keep an eye on Charlie. There is little doubt he is adequately qualified to do his job -- but he is so very sensitive about his youthful appearance.
