James Parton, confidential and faithful clerk to Mr. Packard, endeavors to assist the young man in the management of affairs, but is discharged for his presumption. The clerk impulsively confiscates some of his employer's funds and decamps west with his little daughter, Ruth. Packard fails in business and is ruined. He goes west and becomes dissolute. James Parton strikes gold, and decides to make restitution to Packard. He sends his daughter with the gold and a note of explanation to Packard. On her way the stagecoach is held up by Packard and his gang. They take Miss Parton to their cabin and one of them attempts to embrace her. A latent spark of manhood in Packard asserts itself. At the point of a revolver he locks his two companions in another room. He allows Ruth to go and she returns to her father. Packard has found Parton's note in the satchel and hastens to his home. The two then confess their sins in the presence of Ruth. Packard asks Parton for his daughter. He gives his consent and life opens up with a new and brighter future.
