She is brought up by her aunt, while the father makes a fortune in mining. Twenty years later he plans to return, when two bushmen, Benton McArdle and Roy Goodman, attack him in his cabin, shooting him down. They find that Trevor has deposited his money in his daughter's name, and leaving Trevor for dead, start for America, where McArdle pretends to be the girl's father, while Goodman sues for her hand in order to get her money. The girl is already betrothed to Penfield Drayton, but McArdle frowns upon the match and forbids Drayton the house. Goodman makes love to Constance, but she spurns him. McArdle in a rage, forces Constance and her aunt to go to the girl's room, where he locks them in, declaring they will stay there until Constance consents to wed Goodman. Constance hands a note to a lineman at work on a telephone just outside her window. He takes it to Drayton, who calls the police and hurries to the house. Trevor, however, proves to be only wounded. He recovers and hurries to America, arriving at his daughter's house just before Drayton reaches it with the police. He surprises the two bushmen in the drawing room. There is a fierce battle. Goodman is about to shoot Trevor when Drayton and the police arrive. The bushmen are arrested. Drayton releases Constance and her aunt and the girl finds her real father.
