Burning Daylight's taste for speculation and gambling leads him to
San Francisco, where he's taken in by a group of corrupt capitalists
and a Woman from the City who lures him away from the faithful
Vergie, the former dance-hall girl turned stenographer who has
followed him to the big city. Cheated by his so-called business
partners, Burning Daylight realizes his mistake and administers a
little frontier justice before escaping with Vergie back to Alaska.
