As he sits waiting for Barbara to appear, he recalls the circumstances of her birth, and in memory he is living again in the boom mining town of Gold Bar. As though it were yesterday, he pictures his rapture over the tiny bundle the nurse has placed in his arms and his triumphal entry into the open street that the miners can feast their eyes upon his daughter. His anguish over the death of Barbara's mother, the sudden pinching off of the gold vein and the desertion of the town by all of its inhabitants, recur vividly to him. Barbara coaxes her father and Congressman John Wallace, her fiancé, to take her to the deserted town of Gold Bar as a birthday treat. Arriving, with provisions for several days' stay, they come across an old prospector who has lived all these years near the scene of the strike. He is suffering from hunger and exposure. They make him comfortable and then set out to explore the deserted grocery of Dick Dingle, now a convict. One of the floor boards gives way under Barbara's weight and when she draws up her foot, she finds a gold nugget clinging to the heel of her shoe. A search reveals a sack of nuggets which the jolly conspirators bury near the creek where they will be unearthed by the old prospector. Events now follow one another in rapid succession. While the prospector is off to bank his discovered gold, Barbara, her father, and her fiancé, actually discover gold and file a claim in the name of the old prospector with Barbara as his partner. News of the find spreads like wildfire and there is a general rush for the deserted town by eager gold seekers. In a fight to prevent the stealing of their claim, Barbara and the old prospector hold off Dingle, who has been released from prison, and his confederates, until Wallace can return from the land office. Dingle is taken in hand by the sheriff and prosperity once more returns to Gold Bar. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
