Salt of the Earth (1917)

A miner is swindled by a crooked, fast-talking con man. The con man is the father of Wallace, who is the fiancé of Marjorie, the miner's daughter. The old miner dies shortly after losing everything, and when Wallace returns to the town to be its doctor, she will have nothing to do with him. However, two old prospectors--Sinful John and Snowshoe Sam--set out to bring Marjorie and Wallace back together again.
