John Grant receives a letter from his sister, Nell, in which she tells him that her husband has speculated with and lost the $10,000 church funds he entrusted to him. Arthur Evans, his brother-in-law, contemplates suicide, but John Grant enters just in time and saves the man's life. Grant tells Arthur, "As you have my sister and child to care for, I will take all the blame for the loss of this money." He writes to the church vestryman that the $10,000 subscribed for the church and entrusted to Grant has been lost in speculation and that he is forced to go away. The vestrymen order the Rev. John Grant's arrest. The parson arrives at Ten Strike, Nevada, where he opens a little church and works among the rough westerners. His acquaintanceship with Bess, the organist, ripens into love, but he tells her there is a stain upon his name and he can never marry. Later, the whereabouts of Grant are discovered and orders are sent to arrest him, but the westerners resolve to rescue him from the sheriff. The parson, however, agrees to go with the sheriff. Just as he is about to be rushed into prison, a telegram comes that the guilty man has confessed and Grant is freed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
