Plot

Nobody tells Betty that the inherited gold mine is worth nothing. Entrusted to John Kenwood and his mother after her father's death, the girl also ignores that the costs of her maintenance for a luxurious school are borne by Kenwood himself. Who refuses — for sentimental reasons — to sell the mine to a certain Fleming, an engineer who tries to get his hands on it because he has found a rich vein of gold. When Kenwood loses his oranges crop to the frost, resulting in ruin, Betty discovers the guardian's generosity and feels indebted to him. She will be able to repay him because she too will find the gold vein, realizing, at the same time, that she loves John.
