The workmen become discontented and leave, all save a faithful Indian who swears by Tom. Together they put up with many hardships to keep the plant working. Meanwhile back home, Anne is commanded by her father to marry old Harvey in order that he will not foreclose the mortgage. In vain she pleads with her father and at last writes Tom with a broken heart that she must marry another. But shortly before the letter reaches him, Tom at last strikes oil, and a mighty well it is. He seeks a partner and obtains may dollars cash for a half interest. But his former foreman gets wind that there is money in the air and plots to get it. But Tom's faithful Indian again proves his worth by frustrating the foreman's designs and Tom is enabled to board the first train for home. The bridal party is at the very church door when Tom gallops up. Anne reads the good news in his countenance and rushes to his arms. When Harvey interferes, Tom thrusts a packet of bills in his face in settlement of the mortgage and gives Anne her choice. And papa and all assembled approve her choice, for everybody loves a hero.
