David Donneley and James Burns, are partners in business. They fall in love with two charming girls, but business goes bad, reverses come unexpectedly and the firm is thrown into involuntary bankruptcy. Their fickle and faithless sweethearts, when they hear the news of this, break their marriage engagements with the boys. In the Northwest, where the boys have gone, their canoe is caught in a whirlpool and in a half dead condition they escape and make their way to the home of an old prospector. The old man's blind daughter welcomes them, as her father is absent, working night and day in his secret mine. He does not return that evening and the boys start out in search of him. To their horror they discover his mangled body in a lonely canyon. News of her father's death is broken gently to the blind girl. They plan to restore her eyesight. A noted specialist, a friend of the boys, is called from the city. He examines the girl, and is performing the most delicate operation upon her eyes when an unfortunate interruption by an Indian girl, the servant, makes them believe her sight is gone forever, but the girl through her pluck and faith fights valiantly and in a week's time they find that her sight is restored. One day, looking through an old volume which she had formerly read by means of touch, she finds the map which her father had left, showing the secret location of his mine. She tells the boys of her discovery and they immediately start to locate the gold. A terrible trip, over perilous cliffs and deserted canyons follows, and after hairbreadth escapes, and many hardships, they reach the mine. Coming back they attempt to scale a cliff which they had descended by means of ropes in the morning. When almost at the top, David loses his foothold and finds that the weight of James, who is hanging to the rope a few yards below, is pulling them both down to death. He calls to James, and his pal in the supreme test sticks by him. With a slash of a knife he cuts the rope above his own head, and goes tumbling down to eternity, while David climbs in safety to the top. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
