Redwin gets a tip that coal is to be found in a certain district in Tennessee, and sends Carter, his agent, to investigate and report. Carter finds valuable deposits at Hell's Gap, on land owned by a poor mountaineer and his granddaughter, Josephine Blake. He telegraphs Redwin advising the purchase of the land at a high figure, and himself schemes to marry the girl, so that he may obtain her coming fortune. Josephine will have nothing to do with Carter, although he threatens that she will get no money unless she marries him. The check paying for the land is never sent by Redwin, who meets with an accident just as he is about to sign it. A heavy picture falls on his head, causing him to lose his memory and forget his identity. He disappears and the papers are filled with the sensation of the lost millionaire. Redwin, having forgotten his own name, wanders about the country and leads the life of a tramp. Chance leads him to Hell's Gap, where he meets Josephine and her grandfather, who befriend him. Hearing from Josephine the story of how she almost became rich, recollections are stirred in Robert's mind and his memory returns to him. Before this he has already won the love of Josephine and he determines to find out whether it will stand the test of riches when she becomes wealthy. Robert sends her the check at last and when she joyfully tells him that she is rich, he bids her farewell, saying that he supposes she will no longer want him now that she is rich. Josephine tells him that her love will ever remain the same and goes with him to New York to be married. Robert does not disclose his identity until they reach his home, where they are married in the presence of Robert's mother, who is happy that her son has won the love of a true woman.
