The story opens where Peter, the cowboy, wins the heart of one of the daughters of a miner. The girl's father, hearing of a -old rush, decides to leave for the spot to work a claim. While, he is away he requires more money, so Peter is commissioned to carry the money to him. Whilst on his way Peter is held up by Sam who has a grievance against him. Sam and his gang, after robbing Peter of his money, lower him down in an old well. Fortunately the daughters of the ' miner have witnessed the affair, and they quickly release Peter from his awkward position. One of the girls follows Sam, and after an, exciting ride secures the- money. She makes good her escape, but is pursued, by Sam. who captures her.
