Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine,[4] Anne Wilmot (Stewart) and her aunt Katherine (Farrington) leave Fifth Avenue to go to Arizona and spend a month at her fiance Leon Morse's (Hull) lodge in the mountains near an immense hydroelectric engineering project. Leon is determined to obtain a right-of-way across the site occupied by the dam for his railroad, but Bill Shannon (Hearn), the builder, has other views about it. Anne meets Bill when he rescues her from a perilous position on a rock endangered by the rising waters of a stream. Sheb (Whitman), his right hand man, warns Bill against all women, but he gives Anne some food when she pleads hunger and then makes her wash the dishes. Charles Burkthaler (Sprotte), hired by Leon to destroy the dam, places his men at crucial points. Anne notifies Bill of their scheme and cuts the wire to prevent them from blowing up the dam. A tunnel, however, is destroyed, and Anne is caught under the debris. Sheb finds her and takes her to Bill's cabin. Bill then learns that she has broken her engagement with Leon and says that he is satisfied to spend his life with her.
