Gold! -and overnight a flood of gamblers, outlaws, crooks, cabaret girls.
Gold miner Edd Denmeade loves Lucy Watson, the sister of the official mining claim recorder.

The real murderer, Sam Spralls, has convinced Watson that he killed Denmeade and threatens to expose him unless Watson assigns him all the gold claims.
