Like many others before him, he left the east to seek wealth in the gold mines of the west. Success did not come to him and he would have starved if a young prospector had not taken pity upon him and made him his partner. A claim was located and gold discovered. The miner was taken ill, and his treacherous companion, taking advantage of his partner's helpless condition, took the gold and left his benefactor to die in the desert. The sick man was found by prospectors and nursed back to life. He discovered other rich claims and became one of the mining kings of the west, but cherished a strong hatred for the ingrate who had treated him so heartlessly. Many years later, the rich mining man received a report from a detective, stating that his enemy was now a prominent Wall Street broker, and was conducting a fight for the control of certain railroad properties owned by an elderly capitalist. The ingrate, the detective said, was sure to succeed unless the miner chose to interfere. And the miner did. The elderly financier, harassed and exhausted, received a visit from a grim man from the west, who placed his immense fortune at the other's command, for the purpose, as he expressed it, of "crushing that snake." Money is all-powerful in the world of finance, and after a few days of fierce battle on the "Change," the treacherous broker came to the office of his elderly opponent to plead for mercy. He received none, and left a ruined man, but not before he saw the man who had waited long for the day of reckoning with the miner whom he had so shamefully treated. The robbery of the desert had been avenged on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
