The Legacy

A teacher gives Ben a ride to escape from Maitland's hounds. Her star pupil is a Chicano boy who lives with his grandfather in an illegal mining camp. Ben and the teacher take the boy home to find his grandfather dying from typhoid fever. The mine foreman, who is only interested in money, refuses to send for medical help for those exposed to the disease. Maitland's men trace Ben to the camp and show up just as the boy begins to show symptoms of typhoid.
