Treasure and Trouble Therewith

Two men hold up a Wells Fargo train car and make off with twelve thousand dollars cash. What follows is the initial ecstasy of riches and the compounding disasters wealth brings. Set to climax in the rubble of the 1905 San Francisco earthquake, Treasure and Trouble Therewith (1917) provides a portrait of early 20th-century California and those who lived there.
