Steele Valiant returns from the far north wealthy and eager to face the great world anew. He finds his father dying, his life and fortunes wrecked by James Brieson, whose daughter Steele had been denied. He promises his father to avenge his wrongs, and in time he compels Janice to beg mercy for her father, and then makes Brieson ask him to marry Janice. He does, though he now loathes her. It is a part of his revenge, but each hears the clear call of love at the end of many dreary days.
