They have sent for an expert to appraise it. Pedro, a Mexican, has designs on Dorothy. Reid, the expert, arrives and is taken to the mine, but not before he has fallen under the spell of Dorothy's beauty. At the mine he discovers that he has left an essential instrument at the house. He returns and finds Pedro holding Dorothy in his arms. He drives away the Mexican, who plans revenge. Reid is forced to pronounce the mine worthless. Dorothy begs him to make a more thorough investigation the next day. Pedro listens at the door and hears him agree to do so. He goes to the mine and prepares a charge of dynamite. When Reid appears at the mine, Pedro explodes the charge and Reid is buried alive. Dorothy and her father feel the shock of the explosion, and he goes to the rescue, while she rides to town for help.
