His health is broken and he feels that his days are numbered. He writes his sister, Mrs. James Court, who resides in the city, that he must leave Una in her care. She will be no burden to her as she has ample means to care for herself. Mrs. Court arrives in the Sierras too late to meet her brother alive. She takes Una to her home. Una's wealth makes her a desirable catch and one Sharpe, a stockbroker, tries to captivate her, but instinctively she recoils from him and does not hesitate to let him know that she has no use for him. She prefers Clifford, who often calls at the Court mansion, and tells him so and doesn't care who knows it. Clifford is also a stockbroker and when Sharpe finds out that Una favors his business associate, he determines to ruin Clifford, who is anxious to secure the directorship of the B.C. and L.R.R. Sharpe opposes him and induces all the stockholders to vote against him. Una hears of this and tells her uncle to buy up the B.C. and L.R.R. stock. The young lady has passed her maturity and he obeys. Una hurriedly reaches the meeting of the Board of Directors, throws the stock upon the table with her votes, and places the gavel in the hand of the astonished Clifford. Sharpe is discomfited. Clifford hurries to his mother's home and tells how Una saved him from defeat. Una kisses his mother and then turns to Clifford, throws her arms around his neck, and asks him if they are engaged. He replies by clasping her tightly and planting a kiss upon her forehead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
