Charley has a tough time getting to work, and when he arrives late, the boss gives him the razzberry. He presents the boss' secretary with a rose. The boss promptly throws it into the basket and incidentally, he has a half dozen flowers of his own to give to the girl, but they are smeared with ink. His face is blackened as a result. He is on the verge of firing the big fat boob when he receives a letter for Charley announcing that Charley's rich uncle is dead. The boss treats Charley most gloriously and sends him to a fine tailor and haberdasher. When the will is read, each relative is given a dollar for every pound he or she might weigh. Charley is given a cuckoo clock. The secretary gives him the go-bi. Then the trades people enter and take their clothes from him. The boss enters as Charley tosses the clock away. It hits the boss on the dome, and a shower of bills fall out. Charley then throws the boss out and collapses with joy.

It is the early days of California. Father Sebastian, trudging his way on foot from the Mission, his attention is attracted to the wall of an infant coming from the crest of a ridge. He finds the body of a Spanish woman. Sitting beside its dead mother, a tiny baby greets the Padre's gaze. Lifting the infant tenderly in his arms, the Father resumes his journey, accompanied by an Indian woman, to whom he has entrusted the care of the orphaned child. Years pass by and we see the infant grown to manhood strong, handsome and a true worshiper; the bright eyes of a pretty Spanish maiden turn the head of our Jose, causing him to forget his duty. How, after the Padre has warned him of the danger, he disregards the advice of the Father and leaves in the night with his inamorata; how, in their ignorance of the trails, they wander out into the terrible desert and almost die from thirst and the burning heat; how they are found by some American prospectors and nursed back to life; how Jose lays in a delirium of fever and Papinta returns to another, and the long search of the patient Padre for his adopted son, which is rewarded at last by finding him. The settings are real and beautiful, the locations being chosen from in and about San Gabriel Mission, the sea coast, the Sierra Madre Mountains and the great desert of southern California.
