Osborne's daughter, Shelah, is the pride of his heart. Merrill has long desired to win the girl, but she has rejected his advances. He installs one of his clerks in Osborne's office, as a spy. Osborne plans a coup by which they hope to break Merrill's crowd, but when the trick is sprung, Merrill is ready and Osborne is forced to the wall. When all the debts are cleared, there is nothing left but a small plot of land in the West, and Shelah persuades her father to move out there to live. Shelah and her father are getting along all right when Merrill learns of their success. He takes up a note of Osborne's. Condon, a mining engineer, previously in love with Shelah, finds oil on Osborne's land. He meets Shelah and there is a reunion. Merrill arrives with the note and threatens to foreclose unless Osborne uses his influence with Shelah. Osborne pays the note, hiding the paper in the chimney. As he goes to place the stone back, he falls, and is paralyzed. Merrill sees the fall and realizes the hold he has over the girl. Believing he still holds the note, Shelah tells Condon she will have to marry his rival. Osborne tries to communicate with her, but without avail. Merrill discovers the indications of oil. Condon tries to raise money to pay off the note, but fails. The wedding night arrives and the weather is stormy. As Condon breaks in determined to stop the ceremony, a bolt of lightning strikes the house and the shock is so great Osborne is thrown from his chair. He rises and stammers, "There, third stone up," pointing to the chimney. Condon catches his meaning and finds the canceled note. Merrill is ordered from the house. Osborne has relapsed into paralysis, but his eyes glow with triumph over his defeat of Merrill. As the minister is still present, Condon persuades him to go on with the ceremony.
