Synopsis
Bill Matthews heads West with his partner, Dick Townsend, to take charge of their mine, the Croix D'Or, but upon their arrival in the mining town of Goldpan, they discover that several rivals have been attempting to seize control of the mine. Unknown to both owners, Bully Presby, who owns the adjacent property, is tapping a low level of the mine and promoting a strike among the miners. After Dick and Joan Presby, Bully's daughter, fall in love, however, Joan forces her father to confess his plundering, refund the money and leave the Croix D'Or owners in peace. Meanwhile, Bill gives his heart to dance hall owner Lily Meredith, who, ashamed of her profession, vanishes from the mining camp. Undaunted, Bill departs Goldpan determined to find and marry her.

Notes
This film was re-edited and re-issued in 1918 as part of the Fox Big Six series. Exteriors were filmed in Dahlonega, GA, an old mining community. One source attributes the role of Dave Thompson to Tom O'Keefe, and two reviews credit Flavia Arcara with the role of Lily Meredith. Copyright records base the story on a Grace Miller White novel (publication undetermined). Norton's novel was also filmed by Fox in 1924, with Frank Mayo and Evelyn Brent starring and George Archainbaud directing. (See AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.4272.)
