The village store-keeper has a son whom Sal has liked all her life. He is studying law. All of them are in straightened circumstances. An oil expert from the city visits the vicinity and finds oil traces. He decides not to tell but to buy the land cheap. He offers to buy the ranch. The old man decides to take it. A few days later, Sal, in a tree stealing apples, hears the oil expert tell the man from town about the oil. As the old man is going to town to sign the deed, she takes out after him, and prevents the signing in the expert's face. Shortly after this they put in wells of their own, and become wealthy. Sal goes away to school and begins a new life. Three years after elapse. Sal returns home a cultured lady and wealthy. The young lawyer has meanwhile taken out his degrees. She finds a great change in the young lawyer, who has lost his courage and acts distant and shy. She loves him, and tries to get him to propose, but he gets "cold feet" every time. At last she slips up to her room, dresses as she was before the oil strike, and wins his proposal. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
