The doctor has informed him that she will need special care, and he, with rich, red blood in his veins, is disgusted with life and her in particular. At the local saloon he finds comfort in the smile of one of the female regulars. Jim is jostled and insulted by the cowboys until, maddened, he draws his gun and fires. The posse pursue him, but he escapes to the mountains. Meanwhile, the wife has discovered her husband's infidelity; leaving a note she goes into the hills with the avowed purpose of dying. At the stream she finds Jim, weak from the loss of blood. She nurses him and he, in turn, takes her to an old couple in the hills, where she rapidly regains her health. Jim commences to realize the meaning of manhood. Time goes on; the wife feels now that she can regain her husband's love and starts for the mining camp. On the road her husband staggers to her feet and dies, having been shot after a saloon brawl. She goes on, meets Jim, and together they face the future.
