Western partners Jeff (J. Farrell MacDonald) and Cash (William F. Farnum) find a baby boy in an otherwise deserted emigrants camp, and clash over which is to be "father".

Bill, the foundling whom Cash has raised to young manhood, wants to end the feud and extends an olive branch toward Jeff, who now has a lovely daughter. But during a mining venture, the bitterness escalates.
