"In college days the boy vows to come back for the girl, who is deeply in love with him. He goes West and engages in the mining game. He chances in with a prospector whose daughter has more attraction for him than the father's claim. However, he accepts the claim, because the company of the girl goes with it. He tries to teach her reading and writing, but soon tires of her and leaves for the city, where he succeeds, but love haunts him. He returns years later, to find that the daughter and her father have moved. It is then that he bends his head on the bare rocks in an excess of emotion. The girl he left at college, hearing the mountain girl sing, takes her and her father to the city, where a course in singing works wonders. She is to sing at a reception, where she meets the man agian. The college girl, seeing the situation, nobly gives him up to her, and even brings about their reconciliation, for the singer at first refuses to have anything to do with him" - New York Dramatic Mirror
