Roles Lela Mason
Comme rapporté dans le Exhibitor Herald, Bill Henry Jenkins (Ray) quitte la ferme familiale et parcourt le pays à vélo à la recherche de la fortune. Il est agressé par un paysan furieux et se réfugie dans l'hôtel d'un bourg géré par son oncle, où celui-ci lui donne un statut d'employé. Lela Mason (Roberts) arrive à l'hôtel, après avoir dépensé son dernier sou pour parvenir jusque-là. Elle a en fait hérité d'un petit terrain de ferme dont l'avoué local lui a dit qu'il était sans valeur, ce qui soulève la compassion de Bill Henry. Celui-ci joue au poker avec les clients de passage afin de gagner suffisamment d'argent pour acheter la propriété, laissant Lela dans l'ignorance de l'identité de l'acheteur. Un promoteur offre à Bill Henry un prix beaucoup plus élevé pour le terrain et Bill le vend, en disant à l'avoué de transférer l'argent à Lela. Au lieu de cela, l'homme de loi empoche l'argent et accuse Bill Henry de tromper sciemment la jeune femme. Son oncle le dénonce, mais Lela lui reste fidèle. Bill Henry revient, tabasse l'avocat, et lui fait avouer sa tromperie, puis il épouse la jeune femme.
