Miller, his assistant, is a young American, athletic, and a good miner who is engaged to Bessie Evers, a mine foreman's daughter. Both men are employed in the same mine. Bessie is very fond of Hughes' little girl. One day Hughes happens along just in time to rescue Bess from the embraces of a drunken Mexican and immediately he falls in love with the pretty girl. He despairs upon learning that she is already engaged to Miller and soon finds hatred creeping into his heart for the young American, causing a breach between them. Hughes' little girl goes to feed the mascot of the mine, a mother cat, and lingers to play with the kittens. An accident occurs in which a fuse prematurely explodes, imprisoning the little girl and many of the miners. All of the miners become exhausted in their struggle for freedom except Hughes and Miller, who work untiring until at last the way is opened. In their combined effort to preserve human life, the hatred vanishes and the two men become close friends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
