SynopsisThe river is rising and Steeltown is in danger of being flooded. Dutch doesn't understand why the Army Corps. of Engineers is going north to build an earth dike, when he thinks they should be building it here where he is. The Army engineers will flood the low land before the flood crest arrives. Mike is amazed at how Capt. Corning knows how many cubic yards of earth is needed to form a dike and how much earth their equipment can move per hour. As the river starts to flood, the dike is high enough to hold back the water and they blast a hole to allow the river to flood the low lands.
