Silas Warner, Jr., playboy son of a wealthy New York broker, is disinherited and sent from home by his father when he assumes the blame for a near-theft committed by his brother, Archie. In a western mining community, he is inducted into the "Ornery and Worthless Men of the World," a fraternity of fortune seekers, and a compromising situation forces him to marry Sally Bleeker. Sally is sent away to finishing school when her father dies; there she meets Louise, Silas' sister; and the girls become pals. While visiting the Warner home, Sally recognizes Silas, Jr.'s, picture, and when her miner-guardians come to New York to bring her home, there is a final meeting of the order and a happy reconciliation of Silas with his family.
