Miller loses heavily on the horse races; not wishing to mortgage his home, he fails to enter a deposit in the bank records, using the money for a final plunge on the races, hoping to recuperate all his former losses--but he loses again. Ray discovers the shortage and to spare his parents humiliation, leaves a note at the bank saying that he took the money, and goes West. All believe Ray took the money except Edith, whose faith in him proves stronger than expected. Knowing Miller to be a gambler, she suspects him, accuses him, and finally wrings from him a confession of the truth. Miller gives a mortgage on his home to cover the loss, and Edith starts west in search of her noble lover. In the West Ray has turned cowboy. A handsome reward is offered for the capture of a dangerous bandit. Ray gets on his trail and "covers" him, just as the bandit is holding up the stagecoach. On that coach is Edith. Ray gets his reward, then the happy lovers return, pay off the mortgage, and receive the blessings of all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
