Hickey is a professional card player who falls in love with Mary Moody, the daughter of a work-gang boss on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Hickey gives up his old ways, and agrees to work on the railroad to prove his love to Mary. His old friend, Steve, falls in love with saloon girl Lou, and she takes him for everything he has. In the end, Steve joins Hickey, and redeems himself by saving his old friend's life, at the sacrifice of his own.
