On the advice of a physician he sells his fruit stand and goes south with his daughter, Bettina. There she wins the attention of Bradley, a small town usurer. When Giacinta needs money for land, he has to go to Bradley. Vincente, a young Italian, helps them work their farm. Bradley, fearing Vincente's influence over Bettina, endeavors to have Giacinta discharge him, but is unsuccessful. The crop is a big success and Bradley, foreseeing the payment of the mortgage will break his hold on Bettina, induces Pepo, Vincente's rival, to steal the money. Pepo does so, hides most of the money behind an old stump on an uncleared land. He gambles with the rest of the money and is killed, but does not die until he has accused Bradley and betrayed the hiding place of the money to Vincente. Bradley, hoping to foreclose the mortgage before the money can be found, proceeds to Giacinta's house, accompanied by a sheriff, but before the sheriff can take possession, Vincente arrives with the money, having found it in the place indicated by Pepo, and saves the day.
