Better Than Gold Synopsis

Mr. Norris owns the general store in Deer Point. Business is poor because prospectors have struck no gold in the district, and Mr. Norris closes down on credit purchases, selling only on a strictly cash basis. John Kingdon, a confidence man, buys a half interest in the shop. In collusion with an Indian he launches a false report of a gold strike. Business booms, the stock of Deer Point's general store being entirely sold out, presumably on a credit basis. Norris's pretty daughter and Phil Barton's sweetheart repulses Kingdon's advances. As a result, Kingdon tells the disappointed prospectors that Norris started the false rumor to boom his store's business. Kingdon's Indian confederate, however, recognizing Barton, Miss Norris's fiancé, as the man who once saved him from a lynching party, exonerates Mr. Norris and exposes Kingdon as the person responsible for the false report.
