Williams, an old prospector, strikes pay dirt. His daughter, Milly, and Tom, a young prospector, are sweethearts. Larry, a tenderfoot, comes to the cabin and learns of the strike. Williams has been hurt by a fall, and Tom, going to investigate the discovery, is met by Larry. Larry proposes to Tom that they file the claim for themselves. Tom knocks him down. Larry returns to the cabin and informs Milly that Tom proposed to him that they should file for themselves. Milly refuses to believe. Tom rides to the claim agent to file. So does Larry. Milly decides to take no chances and leaves for town herself. She arrives at the cross roads ahead of Larry and changes the signs. When Larry arrives, be takes the road marked "To Goldite," but which really leads into the desert. Milly meets Tom just as he is coming from the claim agent's office. Without giving him a chance for explanation she bitterly accuses him. Larry soon discovers that he is on the wrong trail and turns back. He meets Tom at the cross roads, learns that he has filed, and forces him back to the Williams cabin. Milly returns to the cabin. Larry has Tom covered with his gun. Milly thanks Larry and denounces Tom. Tom tries to protest. Larry tells her to search Tom for the papers, which she does, only to discover that they are made out in her name. Larry is given orders to move on, and Tom is forgiven.
