Plot
editAs described in a film magazine review,[2] Daniel Slade is an energetic and home loving miner who, through some careful real estate transactions, amasses a fortune. When he decides to splurge and run for governor, his wife Mary cannot revert from the petty cares of leaner days. Then a triangle develops through Katherine Strickland desire for power and wealth that Slade could give her, if only he were free. She tells Mrs. Slade that she should leave this part of the country so that no scandal should attach to Daniel while he runs for office. Mary agrees at first, but then realizes that she is being put aside for a younger woman. With this last minute change of heart, even though the divorce has gone through, it is not long before Daniel and Mary are reunited.
