Plot summary
Dr. Mercer Boley meets his daughter Diana at a small southwestern airport and drives her into the desert toward Uncle Willie's Desert Museum, where the keeper has written to him about a strange find. Willie shows them a winged, horned skeleton he swears he unearthed whole. Mercer calls it a skillful fake assembled from unrelated bones, but Willie begins the local Indian account of demons and bolts the door as the sun goes down. Something lands on the shack, and the building collapses in fire around them; the Boleys escape with the horned skull. At a gas station, then the Cactus Motel run by Mrs. Parks, they take a room for the night, and creatures come looking for the skull.
