Synopsis
Rather than face Glad Mason, the mail-order bride who he is sure will be hideously ugly, "Happy Jack" Lewis signs over his mine to her as a peace offering and then leaves town. Then, a forgetful "Happy Jack" sells the mine to the unscrupulous W. E. Willet, who has inside information, unavailable even to "Happy Jack," that the mine is worth a fortune. Finally, "Happy Jack" returns to town, and instantly falls in love with Glad. Before the wedding can take place, however, Willet has "Happy Jack" arrested for selling him a mine that was not his to sell. Glad gives the mine to Willet when he agrees to drop the charge, but then it is revealed that Willet's information is wrong: the real gold mine is on the land that was willed to Glad by her father. So, although he loses his mine, "Happy Jack" gets a millionaire wife in exchange.
