John Schultz, with his son, Don, are camping in the Kentucky hills when their campfire accidentally ignites an outcropping of coal in the cliff. They put out the fire and plan to get possession of the land before any one else discovers its value. Old Blazer Hoadley, a mountain "cracker," directs them to the owner, young Lafe Herron, who lives on the mountain with his pretty wife, Roxie. But Lafe and Roxie are too happy on the old place to sell and the plotters are baffled. To make matters worse, Old Blazer discovers the secret and they are compelled to bribe and engage him for a guide. Balked in his first attempt, Schultz hatches a devilish plot. He has noticed that Roxie was interested in Don and he proposes for Don to win her away from Lafe, so that Lafe will be willing to sell. Don's attentions excite such jealousy from Lafe that Roxie is angered and they quarrel. Matters get worse with the young couple, but one day Don exposes his purpose by kissing Roxie and she breaks with him. ...
