Miss Lowe, attired in bridal gown, is about to marry Waring when Watts rushes in and tempestuously exhorts her not to marry Waring, and as she has really learned to love Watts she accedes to his wishes. Waring is furious at having his bride snatched from his hands at the very altar, but resigns himself to his fate. Watts marries Miss Lowe, and, alone, seeks his fortune in Alaska. Meantime Mrs. Waring has met a childhood sweetheart, Paul Durkin, a soldier of fortune and a gambler, marries him and drifts to the Alaskan gold fields. Watts makes a rich strike and prepares to return home, but meets Durkin who fleeces him. He attempts suicide, and is found badly wounded by Mrs. Durkin, who nurses him back to health, and, touched by his story, persuades Durkin to give back the gold and sends for his wife. When she arrives Mrs. Durkin learns that she has befriended the husband of the girl who wrecked her home, and struck by the humor of the situation bursts into hysterical laughter, in which she is gradually joined by the motley crowd of picturesquely attired mend from many lands, forming a tableau of irresistible humor.
