Jack, having heard of a vein of gold at the other side of the desert, asked his friend Dick to accompany him. Dick accepted the invitation and after several months of hardship across the desert, Jack found the precious mineral. So far Dick had been faithful to his friend, but one night he was inspired with a desire to desert him, thereby causing his death before the year's end. So taking the burros away which bore the scanty supplies he made his way homeward. Arriving at May's residence he told her that her sweetheart expired on the desert and showed her the gold which Jack had found. The news so affected May that she became prostrated and cried herself to sleep. In her dreams she had a vision of Jack struggling on the sands. When she awoke she told of her vision to Bob, a faithful friend, and appealed to him to go in search of her lover. Bob was not long in arriving at the desert and after searching for some time he found Jack, whom he brought home, where a happy reunion took place and where the villainy of a false friend was exposed.
