The widow's son is in love with the Sheriff's daughter, but rather Sheriff will have nothing to do with him. The widow sneaks out to look for her son, who has not come home to dinner. He comes blubbering up and tells her that the Sheriff will not let him have his daughter. In the meantime Bill and Pete have gone back to the mine, but Bill comes up for air. He proposes to the widow, and she accepts, as he has saved a gold brick. Pete overhears them. He sneaks home, goes to Bill's mattress and takes out the gold brick. Hearing a voice outside, he throws the brick out the window. Milt and his girl happen to be passing and it hits Milt on the head. Pete rushes on looking for the brick and Milt and the girl watch him. He buries the brick, and Milt and the girl see where he hides it. Bill, all dressed for the wedding, goes to get the brick and discovers the loss. At the church the poor widow is waiting. The "friends" go to their shaft and look down. Then Pete gives Bill a kick that sends him down in the hole. Milt asks the Sheriff if he can have his daughter if he discovers the thief, and he consents. Bill has been having all sorts of trouble trying to get out of the shaft. The widow is all ready to marry Pete when she hears about Bill and tears to his rescue, while Pete goes to dig up the brick. She makes him help pull Bill out. He and a miner grab a rope and swing in, but this makes even balance with Bill and minister. Pete realizes that the only way to get to the top is to throw out his brick. This he does, and no sooner gets to the top than the Sheriff arrests him. The widow grabs the minister and they drop down the shaft and balance even with Bill and the parson. The widow with a smile says, "Marry us.'' This the minister does. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
