Synopsis
Big Jim Garrity owns a mine and Hugh Malone sells cocaine to the men who work there. Jim warns him to stop, but Malone refuses and then decides to destroy the mine in order to get rid of Jim. The plan fails, but a mine worker is murdered and Jim, framed by Malone, is imprisoned. He escapes from jail and leaves the country, but returns a rich man a few years later. Jim falls in love with the wealthy Sylvia Craigen, but on their wedding day, Jim discovers that she is addicted to cocaine and that her supplier is Malone. Jim tracks down Malone, forces him to confess to the mine murder and then manages to rid Sylvia of her addiction.
