Synopsis
English squire Wilfred Denver is ruined at the race track by Geoffrey Ware, a former rival for his wife's love. Denver goes to Ware's home, armed with a gun, but is chloroformed by burglars who later kill Ware. Denver believes that he murdered his enemy, and escapes to America. He amasses a fortune in western mines, and earns the title "the silver king" due to his wealth and the fact that suffering has turned his hair white. Despite the risk, Denver returns to England to see his wife and children who are near poverty. Henry Corkett, a former servant of Ware's, confesses to witnessing the actual murder, and Denver establishes his innocence.
