While camping in the mountains, city-bred Ben Kirkland meets mountaineer's daughter Emmy Chaney, and the two decide to marry although her father wants her to marry his hunting partner, Jeff Crandall. When Emmy's father threatens to kill Ben, the young lovers hastily marry and move to the city. Meanwhile, Ben's friend Tubby, while hunting with Ben's gun, discovers Mr. Chaney's body and flees, believing himself a killer. Ben departs on a business trip, and in his absence his snobbish relatives force Emmy to return to the mountains, where she learns that Ben has been accused of her father's murder. When Ben arrives looking for his wife, he is arrested. At the trial, Tubby is about to confess his guilt when an old hermit reveals that Jeff committed the crime. The lovers reunite and resume their happy marriage.
