- Haskell Brown takes up the promotion of the "Golden Nugget" Mining Company, and staking his honor on the proposition advises all his friends to buy stock in it. One of them, Robert Truesdell, a wealthy manufacturer, not only invests heavily himself but recommends the purchase of the stock to his workmen. A flood of orders for the stock is the consequent result. No sooner is the company successfully launched than Brown gives a reception to his friends who have invested in it. At the reception are Truesdell and George Thurston, the latter being the fiancé of Marietta, Brown's daughter. At the height of the merriment Brown receives a cable from the manager of the mine to the effect that the mine shows a two million dollar deficit. Overwhelmed he retires to his room and kills himself. The next day Brown's house is mobbed by the angry workingmen who have lost their all. Truesdell stands by Marietta in her distress and promises to pay every cent the men have invested. Thurston deserts Marietta now penniless, and Truesdell takes the forlorn girl under his wing and later marries her. Five years later the Truesdells are happy in their little home with the daughter that has been born to them. By dint of hard labor Truesdell has paid back every cent to the persons who invested in the defunct mine at his advice. Like a serpent there re-enters into their Eden Thurston, now returned from the far east. Seeing Marietta's beauty his old infatuation returns and he treacherously revives the old love in the girl's heart. She confesses this to her husband, and obtains a separation from him. Finding out too late the fickle nature of Thurston, and the broken hearts he has caused, she visits upon him a terrible vengeance which she expiates by a term in prison. To her, sick and hopeless, comes Truesdell and in his arms she finds forgiveness.
