Synopsis

Private Frank Austin, imprisoned for striking Colonel Kincaid, who was abusing a lame newsboy, escapes to Colorado. Meanwhile, Latin professor Thomas Doyle, his wife Mary and sister Kitty also move to Colorado because of Mrs. Doyle's health and are persuaded by Kincaid to buy a ranch that is worthless because it has no irrigation. While Mrs. Doyle gets well and Doyle's funds run out, Austin, on land bordering Doyle's, strikes gold and is blackmailed by Kincaid to let him have a controlling interest. After a blast in the mine exposes an underground river that destroys the mine but irrigates Doyle's land, Doyle becomes wealthy. When Doyle accuses his wife of being intimate with Kincaid, she leaves for Denver, where she repulses Kincaid's further advances. When Doyle arrives and fights Kincaid, Mrs. Doyle saves her husband by shooting Kincaid in the arm. Doyle and Mary are reunited, and Austin marries Kitty after forcing Kincaid to sign his pardon.
