News of the discovery travels quickly, and in a New England town, Amos Fenton prepares to leaves his sweetheart Mary Hampton, in the hope of striking it rich in California. Along with Mary's father, Amos unearths a rich store of gold and, with his newly acquired treasure, he establishes a law practice in San Francisco. The gold rush attracts so many criminals to the city, however, that Amos, disgusted with the prevailing lawlessness, decides to organize a vigilance committee. Mary sails to San Francisco to join her father and sweetheart, but upon her arrival she is kidnapped. Amos and his army of vigilantes ride to her rescue, and after a fierce battle with the outlaws, she is reunited with her future husband.
