Richard Townsend goes west with his friend Bill Matthews, after graduating from mining school to develop his father's abandoned gold mine. Bill discovers from The Lily, owner of the mining town saloon, that the mine is being plundered through secret tunnels by Bill Presbey, father of Joan, Richard's sweetheart. After fights, a strike, the dynamiting of a dam, a fire, and a mine cave-in, Presbey yields to Joan's pleas and Bill's fists and returns the gold. The Lily reforms, and everything points to happiness for her and Bill, as well as for Richard and Joan.

The Trap Synopsis

Doris is driven from her small New England fishing village when a jealous admirer implies that her mild flirtation with visiting artist Stuart Kendall was an intimate love affair. Arriving in New York, alone and penniless, Doris finds employment in a Greenwich Village café, where she again meets Stuart and agrees to become his model. Unaware of his true intentions, Doris lives at Stuart's expense and innocently evades his advances. Out West, rancher Jack Masterson sees Doris' face on a poster and journeys East to propose to her. Doris returns his affections, which so angers Stuart that he resolves to prevent the marriage. On the eve of the wedding, Stuart throws a party for Doris, and when the celebration becomes an orgy, he telephones Jack, who arrives and denounces his fiancée. Realizing Stuart's trick, Doris, in turn, denounces him, but Jack overhears their conversation, and the wedding takes place as planned.
