John Gould, a gold miner, out of food and in desperate circumstances, sends his young daughter, Kathleen, to the general store, thinking, perhaps, that the store keeper will give the child some food. Kathleen is refused, Dan Jordan, a gambler, seeing the child in tears, offers her assistance. Gould thanks the gambler from the bottom of his heart, and tells the latter that if he will grubstake him, Gould will give him half interest in the mine. The gambler stakes him. A year later the gambler returns to the town broke. Gould refuses to come to his assistance. An explosion occurs in the mine and Gould is seriously injured. He dies, leaving Kathleen and the mine to the gambler.
