John Burns (Lon Chaney) is chased by a bear and falls off a cliff. A young miner named Bob Jenkins finds the unconscious Burns and takes him to his cabin. Bob nurses Burns back to health and they become friends. Dave Williams and his beautiful daughter Lucy arrive in town, and she and Bob soon fall in love. Burns also falls in love with her, but she clearly prefers Bob.
Filled with jealousy, Burns plots to kill Bob and rigs a gun in Bob's cabin with a string connecting the doorknob to the gun's trigger, so that Bob will be shot when he opens the cabin door. His plan backfires however when some mice chew through the string. Bob finds the gun later and realizing it was set up to kill him, he purposely fires off a shot. Burns, thinking that Bob is dead, drags Lucy off into the wilderness, but Bob leads a posse to rescue her and Burns is killed.
