A party of pioneers, among them Farley and Rand with their families, are on their way across the plains. Rand, while stopping at a stream to get a drink for his son, discovers gold. He returns to the camp for paper to stake his claim, and catches Farley in the act of making love to his wife. He overlooks it for the time being, and he and his boy go back to his claim, taking an old letter Farley has given him. From this letter he tears out the blank page to use to stake his claim, putting the letter part in his blouse. Hearing shots he goes to a hill. Indians are fast wiping out their little band. After the Indians have gone, Rand rescues Farley from the wreck of an old wagon. After burying the dead they start off on the journey. One night Farley and Rand quarrel over a game of cards. In the struggle Rand falls from a cliff to the rocks below, where he lies apparently dead. Farley takes the boy with him, and filing a claim to Rand's mine, they go northward. Rand is picked up by prospectors badly injured about the head; he remembers nothing. They find Farley's ring which he had won in the game and also the letter. He becomes identified as John Farley.
