Daisy is heart-broken, as the dancehall has been her home and sole means of support for almost as long as she can remember, and she has no place to go to. As she stands in the street crying bitterly, George Fowler, a prospector, comes along and on learning of her plight, offers her a home with him in his cabin in the mountains. Daisy gratefully accepts this offer and returns to the mountains with George, where the mountain air and wholesome life restore her shattered health. Daisy learns to love George, but he is wholly absorbed getting enough "dust" to enable him to send for his wife. At last this is done but the stage on which his gold goes out is robbed. George has gone on a short prospecting trip and Daisy is informed of the loss. She determines to repay the debt she feels she owes him and returns to the dancehall, where she succeeds in gathering enough spoils to replace the money lost by George. This she sends to George's wife. On the day of his wife's arrival, George goes happily forth to meet her. He tells Daisy that he wants her to stay and live with them as one of the family, but she, realizing this would not be possible or right, leaves during his absence.
