Plot
As summarized in a film publication, Jim Drew (Millett),
who is a squaw man (a disparaging term for a white man with an Indian wife), receives word that his wife whom he had long deserted had died and that his daughter was coming by train to live with him. Jim is injured when his cabin catches fire, and dies just as David Brent (Carey) arrives to repay a debt of gratitude. Reading the girl's letter stating that she will meet her father in San Francisco, David decides to meet the girl and tell her of her father's death. But when Lorelei (Golden) arrives, she mistakes David for her father and is so happy with her beautiful home that David cannot bring himself to tell her the truth. She met Gordon Swayne (Braidwood), a surveyor, on the train and retains his friendship, which makes David unhappy. When Gordon discovers that David is not Lorelei's father, he threatens him. When Lorelei learns the truth, David decides to go away and leave the girl as mistress of the cabin. Lorelei stops him and tells him she loves him only.
