The Chechahcos collection

'Horseshoe' Riley and Bob Dexter save a little girl named Ruth when the Alaska-bound steamer on which she is riding is destroyed by a boiler explosion. A gambler named Steele permits the mother of the child, Mrs. Stanlaw, to believe that her little girl has drowned and then offers her his 'protection.' Little Ruth grows to young womanhood and ten years later marries Bob. Meanwhile, Steele comes to town and buys a gambling house in which Mrs. Stanlaw is forced to sing. Bob and Riley discover the whereabouts of Mrs. Stanlaw and attempt to restore her to her daughter. The resentful Steele binds Bob to a chair and sets the house on fire. Bob escapes and goes after Steele, who is killed by a collapsing glacier. In the end, mother and daughter are reunited.
