- When Colonel Archer, the military post commanding officer, refuses to loan money to his second-in-command, Captain Waring, Waring gets the money from Brent Lindsay of the nearby mining town, in exchange for his note. Both Waring and Lindsay court Floyd Bingham, the daughter of a retired colonel, but Floyd learns that Lindsay is involved with Queen, a dance hall girl. Following the urging of her father, Floyd marries Archer, who has two children left to him by his dying sister, whom Floyd loves. When Lindsay continues his attentions to Floyd, Archer quarrels with her and leaves to go hunting. Floyd goes walking in the woods with Lindsay and his kiss is photographed by Waring, who attempts to blackmail Lindsay. When Lindsay is found dead and Archer, who suspects Floyd, is arrested, the men from the mining town almost lynch Archer, but Queen, who witnessed the murder, clears him.—Pamela Short
- Captain Waring, the young officer, second in command, tries to borrow money from the commandant to pay a long-overdue debt, but is refused. He appeals to Brent Lindsay, the lion of an adjacent mining town. Lindsay accepts Waring's note for the loan. Major Bingham, retired, and his daughter, Floyd, live at the military post, and both Waring and Lindsay are courting Floyd. Lindsay utilizes the note to force Waring to withdraw his attentions to the girl. Floyd thus becomes interested in Lindsay, but when she hears of an affair he has with a common dance hall woman called "Queen," she accepts the commandant's proposal of marriage, a course urged by her father, who detests Lindsay. The commandant is the guardian of two children left by his dead sister. After Floyd's marriage to the commandant Lindsay continues his attentions, as a result of which the commandant quarrels with his wife and then, piqued, leaves for a hunting trip to the mountains. In his absence his wife commits the folly of walking in the woods with Lindsay. Lindsay embraces her and Captain Waring, who is out with his camera, happens on in time to take a photograph of the young wife in Lindsay's arms. Waring uses the photograph to recover the note from Lindsay. They quarrel, and shortly after Lindsay is discovered killed. Circumstances point to the commandant as the murderer. He, in turn, thinks his wife is guilty. The commandant is turned over to the sheriff, and while in custody is attacked by the infuriated men of the mining town, but is rescued by one of his companions and exonerated by the "Queen," who witnessed the murder and now comes forth with a true version of the tragedy. From this point everything is explained, and the commanding officer consequently realizes the innocence of his wife.—Moving Picture World synopsis
