- Half-breed Indian Michael Lafond is forced off a wagon train by scout Jim Buckley after Lafond insults a white woman. Seeking revenge, he murders Prue Welch--the wife of a New England college professor--and kidnaps her baby daughter Molly to raise as his own. Fifteen years later, with Molly now grown into a young woman, he opens a dance hall and forces Molly to work there. Jim Buckley has now become a leading citizen in the Black Hills area, but Lafond plans to ruin both his reputation and his life.
- In the small town of Sycamore Ridge live youthful sweethearts Bob Hendricks and Molly Culpepper; Bob's banker father, General Hendricks; and John Barclay, head of the Golden Belt Wheat Co. When Adrian Brownwell comes to town to publish a newspaper, his cash deposits in Hendricks' bank relieve the banker's worry that an expected bank examiner will discover the shortage in bank funds resulting from Hendricks' support of Barclay. Adrian falls in love with Molly and decides to leave Sycamore Ridge when she refuses to marry him. Barclay threatens Molly with the financial ruin of many whom she holds dear unless she marries Adrian, and Bob returns from the East to find Molly the new Mrs. Brownwell. Twenty years later, Barclay has become a financial power, Adrian has fallen into drunkenness, and Molly supports herself by working on the newspaper, which Bob now controls. In a rage Adrian shoots Bob and flees, and happiness comes to Bob and Molly when word comes of Adrian's death in a railroad accident. Barclay's wife's death leads the financier to believe that he is being punished for ruthlessly crushing his rivals, and he distributes his fortune to those whose businesses he has ruined.
- The Bines family of Montana City comes into money on the death of millionaire builder Daniel J. Bines. Daniel's son and daughter, Percy and Psyche, want to move to New York City to experience life, and Percy's interest in New York increases when he meets Avice Milbrey, who is passing through Montana City in the private car of Wall Street financier Rulon Shepler. Over the objections of Uncle Peter Bines, the founder of the fortune, the rest of the family leaves for New York, where the malevolent Shepler, jealous of Avice's interest in Percy, devises a plan to ruin Percy financially and destroy his moral reputation. Uncle Peter gets wind of this plot and heads to New York, where he hedges Percy's bad investments and amasses enough money to free Avice's father from his obligations to Shepler. When the financial crash comes, Percy, believing himself to be bankrupt, takes a job in a garage, but Uncle Peter's gamble pays off and restores the Bines fortune. Percy marries Avice, Psyche is united with her English sweetheart Lord Mauburn, and all head back to the serenity of Montana City.
