Steve, while stumbling through the underbrush one day, trips, and, in throwing out his hand to save himself, accidentally strikes a rich lode. Overjoyed at his discovery he starts for town for some supplies and on the way he meets Barker, a villainous old miner, who is starting off with his wife and beautiful daughter, Ruth, to prospect. Steve tells him of the find. Barker plies him with whiskey until he is drunk and then strikes him over the bead with the empty bottle. He is about to kill Steve, but his wife interferes only to be brutally beaten, and he desists only when his daughter threatens to shoot him. Steve gains his senses and staggers away. Barker sends a shot after him, wounding him in the arm. Barker and his family then move on and he accidentally stumbles across Steve's shack. Fearing the wrath of the rangers he deserts Ruth and her".
