- Jane Lawson takes the blame for her younger sister Ruth's minor romantic indiscretion, and is thrown out of the house by her straight-laced parents. She finds work as a department store model, and then marries Will Rogers, her boss's dissolute son, even though George Blake, another store employee, is a far more wealthy and sensible suitor. Will starts embezzling store funds, and when George finds out, to protect Jane, he gives Will some money and sends him to Alaska to make good. His habits fail to improve, however, and when Jane goes to Alaska to meet him she arrives just in time to watch him hang for murder. Suddenly, Jane realizes George's true worth, and so marries him as soon as she returns.—Pamela Short
- Jane Lawson lives in a small country town with her parents. Her father is the strictest member of the Morals Committee, and forces Jane and her younger sister, Ruth, to live barren, colorless lives. Ruth steals away to meet George Blake, a young drummer from New York. She is seen rowing across to a small island, with Blake by one of the town girls, who reports it to the Committee. Jane, rushing to save her sister from being disgraced because she is engaged to the minister's son, sends her home in time and herself faces the townspeople in company with Blake, assuming her sister's guilt. Disgraced, her father orders her away from home, and she leaves town to find work in New York. After six months of hard struggle, living in an attic room, she accepts a position procured for her through Blake with the firm he is working for, although she is not aware he had anything to do about it. There she falls in love with Will Rogers, son of her employer, and they subsequently marry. Two years after their marriage, Will degenerates and takes to drink. After his father's death, he dissipates his interest in the business and is caught by Blake stealing the bonds of the company from the safe. Blake, now in control of the company, makes good the deficiency and sends Will to Alaska, grub-staking him. In Alaska, Will meets Dolly, a dance-hall girl, cast off by Big Tom, one of the wealthy miners and becomes infatuated with her. Dolly, to avenge herself on Big Tom, betrays his claim (which is not registered), to Will, who succeeds in having it registered in his own name. Will's long silence becoming suspicious to Blake and Jane, the former starts off to investigate, finding him wealthy but also in a state of debauchery with Dolly. A fight ensues, in which Blake obtains half of Will's money. This he brings to Jane, telling her it it is from Will. This reawakens Jane's love for her husband, and while Blake is away on a trip, leaves to join her husband. Arriving at Nome, she is shown the cabin where Will and Dolly live, and realizes on the instant her husband's perfidy but Blake's loyalty and generosity to both. While Jane is waiting, there is a fight between Will and Big Tom in which the latter is victorious. As Big Tom starts off, Will shoots him in the back, and starts for his cabin. Here he is surprised to see Jane, but his greetings are rebuked. Big Tom, though dying, manages to crawl to his dog sled and reaches the villagers, telling them of what has happen. Incensed the miners, who always make a law unto themselves when one of them brands himself a coward, get a rope and drag Will out of his cabin. Blake, returning from his trip, realizes that there will be something doing when Jane arrives in Alaska, so starts off on the next train, arriving there just in time to see Will lynched, his protestations being of no avail. The villagers are all returning and Will's body swings from a tree. For a week Jane lies unconscious in the house of the parish priest and when the danger is past, Blake is there, kneeling beside her, and at the sight of Blake, Jane realizes she loved him all the time, and they look forward to days of happiness together.—Moving Picture World synopsis
