Synopsis
In 1853, young southerner Don Buckner goes west in search of gold to recoup his dwindling fortune, spent mostly on his wife. During the years of his absence he fails to communicate with his wife or mother, even when he strikes gold, as he hopes to make this good fortune a surprise. His cousin, infatuated with Don's wife, tries to persuade her that Don is dead and forcibly kisses her. The mother, thinking her unfaithful, dies of a broken heart. Don returns, sees his mother's grave, and learns of his wife's "infidelity." He kills his cousin in a duel, orders his wife from his house, frees his slaves, sets fire to his house, and determines to return to California alone. His wife, however, persuades him to take her along. Don realizes he still loves her when she becomes lost in a sandstorm. He finds her; and reunited in their love, they continue on to California.
