“The story of the stirring drama is laid partly in Chicago and partly in a Mexican mining camp, thus giving an opportunity for both some striking scenes in the gardens and grounds of a millionaire’s city home, and also for some views of the tropics, that are splendidly photographed. Warren Kerrigan plays the principal male role and is ably assisted by Vivian Rich and Charlotte Burton. Other popular American players seen in the picture are Louise Lester, Jack Richardson and George Periolat. The story opens in the office of the president of a huge mining company, where Bruce Willard is employed. Bruce has just asked for a raise and an opportunity to work up to a more responsible position. The president not only offers him the raise in salary, but tells him he is to be sent to take charge of the Mexican mine, and if he makes good at the end of two years assures him he will be given a substantial interest in the company. Young Willard hastens to the home of his sweetheart, Helen Courtney, a society butterfly, and secures her promise to await his return to become his wife. After Bruce has left for Mexico, however, we learn that Helen’s choice is not that of her mother, and the girl is finally persuaded to bestow her love upon one George Scott, a wealthy but aged gentleman. Meanwhile Willard has reached Mexico and the locality of the mine. He has scarcely taken charge of affairs until he discovers that something is seriously wrong, as the daily talley sheets prove that a large amount of the ore which is reported raised to the top of the main shaft, disappears between that point and the loading platform. He sets himself to discover the cause of the shortage in ore and is aided in this work by Mary, the daughter of the camp bartender, who has been deeply smitten by the manly charms of the handsome Bruce. The young man has, however, been far too busy attending to his duties and with his thoughts of Helen, to pay much attention to Mary, though his every glance at her and his every kindly or sympathetic act have meant a thrill of joy for the lonely girl. One day Mary sees Miguel, the Mexican foreman of the mine, and Jose, another Mexican, driving some heavily laden burros along a path which leads up to a little hut, so screened as to be almost invisible from the nearby roadway. She follows and watches the men unload the heavy packs and drag them within the hut. Her suspicions aroused by this action of the Mexicans, Mary investigates further, upon the departure of the men, and finally, obtaining entrance to the hut, discovers that the bags contain silver ore, thus proving the thieves to be none other than Miguel, the foreman, and Jose, his humble satellite. Mary hastens to Bruce with the information she has obtained, and the young superintendent in paying off the men, dismisses both Miguel and Jose. Later he follows the ore thieves to their lonely hut and opens fire upon them, when they refuse to return the ore. The revolver battle which follows is highly spectacular and finally the hut is set afire, thus forcing the Mexicans into the open. Bruce, slightly wounded, staggers away, after having seen Miguel expire as a result of the long continued gun- play. Following a report of the capture and death of the ore thieves, Bruce receives word from the president of the company that he has “more than made good,” and is called back to Chicago. Joyfully Willard packs his belongings and prepares to return to his sweetheart, whom he still believes to be loyally awaiting him. Mary’s heart- strings are torn when she discovers that Bruce cares for another and is going away almost without saying “Good- bye.” Arrived in Chicago, Willard is astonished to find that Helen has engaged herself to Scott, who is more than twice her own age. Scott and Willard meet and, naturally, each is jealous of the other. Helen, highly pleased over Bruce’s complete success, is inclined to give up Scott and return to her first love, but Bruce, his heart broken by her fickleness, casts her away from him and leaves in a towering rage. Reporting back at the office of the mining company he asks to be permitted to continue as superintendent of the Mexican mine and with a heavy heart boards a train which will take him back to Mexico. Upon his return, he finds Mary grieving over the death of her father and now more lonesome than ever before. The gift of a cluster of wild flowers pleases Bruce mightily, and swept by a passion which he scarcely comprehends, Willard seizes the girl in his arms and kisses her. Mary then gives way to her emotions and tells Bruce how madly she has loved him since his first coming to the mine and how heart-broken she has been during his absence. Bruce, now thoroughly aware that he is in love, head over heels, cuddles Mary in his strong arms and assures her that they will never be separated again.” - Motography, July 12, 1913, p.29- 30
