In the climactic sixth part of 'The Silver Arrow' saga, Clark Kent, Tumbleweed Jones, Jimmy Olsen, and Mary Lewis gather at Tumbleweed's ranch after the mysterious prospector Hopeful Jake is critically wounded by a silver arrow. As Jake lies in a coma, the group debates his fate and the identity of the shooter, with Clark Kent suspecting that Mary's grandfather, Bart Cummings, may have been the legendary Silver Arrow. The next morning, they follow a cryptic clue from a third silver arrow—'Pace seven to the south and six to the east. Shoot this arrow where the sun shines least'—leading them to a cave entrance. Realizing the sun doesn't shine inside, they shoot the arrow through a narrow slit, where it sticks in the ground. Tumbleweed discovers a hidden underground chamber beneath the cave filled with dozens of silver arrows and signs of recent habitation, suggesting a secret dweller. As they prepare to dig for treasure, Jimmy is terrified by a moving portrait in the abandoned hotel, hinting at supernatural elements. The episode ends on a suspenseful note, setting up a thrilling conclusion in the next installment.
