Rough and Ready (1918)

In New York, Bill Stratton saves a friend's marriage, but Bill's fiancée, Evelyn, misinterprets the situation and believes Bill to be unfaithful to her. She breaks her engagement, and Bill, in remorse, goes to Alaska. In the town of Yellow Gulch, Bill meets "Silver" Jack Belmont, the man responsible for nearly ruining the marriage of Bill's friend. Bill also learns that an old miner named "Lucky" Matthew Durant is Evelyn's father. Durant has been lying to his daughter, claiming he is rich. Bill tells Evelyn the truth about her father, but she does not believe him. Instead, she believes Belmont when he says he will take her to her father's mine. Eventually, Bill and Belmont confront each other and Bill defeats Belmont in a fight. Bill then reconciles Evelyn and her father.
