Two outlaws, in search of shelter for the night, approach Holt's cabin. Looking in at a window, they see Bill weighing his gold dust, and the bandits scheme together to return next day, while he is out working the claim, and steal the treasure. When Holt goes out the next morning he warns Mildred to keep the door locked and admit no one. He calls the dog in to guard her during his absence, and kissing her good-bye, shoulders his pick and departs. As soon as the outlaws are satisfied that Holt is absorbed in his work, they draw near the cabin. Their stealthy footsteps catch the keen ear of the dog, Spot, who warns his young mistress by barking frantically. Mildred fears for the safety of her grandfather's gold. She does not think at all of her own danger in the exciting problem of how to conceal the precious hoard. Then an idea flashes over her. She has a beautiful, big doll with a head that screws on and off. Removing the doll's head, she empties the gold into the hollow body of her plaything. The bandits come to the door calling for a drink of water. But the little girl refuses to admit them. In no time at all they have hammered down the door. They seize Mildred, gag and bind her, who, in terror, drops the doll. Spot meanwhile has escaped. He rushes to the creek and Holt knows at once something is wrong. The miner returns, kills one of the bandits, and is in danger of being worsted by the other, when Mildred, who has struggled free from her bonds, shoots him. After all is over, Mildred brings the gold-stuffed doll to her amazed grandfather. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
