Synopsis
When the miner known as Burning Daylight strikes gold, he sparks a gold boom in his small Alaskan town. Nathaniel Letton, a financier from New York, comes to the Yukon and attempts to trick Daylight out of his holdings, but Daylight is shrewd and forces Letton to pay full value for the property. With the money, he travels to New York with his old friend Necessity and his family, so that Necessity's crippled son can have an operation. Once in New York, Letton again attempts to fleece Daylight by arranging to have Lucille, Letton's niece, lure him into a stock deal. Daylight falls for the scheme, but when he discovers the plot, he forces Letton to return the money at gunpoint. He then returns to Alaska and discovers his love for Dora, Necessity's daughter.
