Plot: Frank Storm and Steve Baker are prospectors and partners. Both are in love with Jennie, the unhappy wife of Pete Lear, trapper and suspicious character. But while Baker annoys her with familiarities. Storm keeps his real feelings a secret. On one occasion, however, he defends her from Baker's unwelcome advances and later, confessing to her that it were best for him to go away, is discovered by her husband in what appears to him a compromising attitude. Lear attacks Storm. Meanwhile, the sheriff arrives with his posse, tracing the thief who has robbed the food caches of many trappers and prospectors in the region. Lear, taken unawares, leaps out of the window, where he is killed by a shot from the sheriff's gun.
