Wilson, an unscrupulous promoter, makes a deal with "Happy" Tom whereby they will, with the use of the latter's notoriety, fleece innocent investors by selling them stock to the mysterious mine. Mrs. Warren, a widow of small means, residing in a small town, is persuaded to invest practically her all. After repeated requests for the promised dividends, her last letter is returned marked "not found." Her daughter, Beth, then starts for Nevada in an effort to retrieve their loss. Arriving at Bullfrog, she finds the office of the bogus company has long been unoccupied. Without funds, she is in desperate straits, when she is befriended by Blind Jack, a dance hall fiddler. Blind Jack enlightens her as to the real source of "Happy" Tom's wealth, which is really derived from the sale of high-grade ore stolen by a gang of highgraders, of which he is the leader, from the mines in which they work. Blind Jack intercedes for her with the proprietor of the dance hall, and Beth is employed to sing old-fashioned songs in that rough place, which is the rendezvous of the highgraders. Returning from one of his "cashing-in" trips with lots of money and accompanied by Wilson, "Happy" Tom and his associates become the victim of a novel gunplay, in which they are bested by the blind fiddler and Ruth. The return of her mother's money is effected and the swindlers are given to justice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
