A dying prospector tells "Peaceful Peters" of a mine he has discovered for "Buddy's Gal" and of his ambush by claim jumpers, and he gives Peters the location of the mine. In town Peters discovers the crooked dealings of dance-hall-owner Jim Blalock and assayer Peter Hunter. Meanwhile, he has narrowly escaped efforts to frame him for a robbery and a murder, and he rescues Mary Langdon, who has come to the dance-hall to answer an advertisement for a dance teacher, from Blalock. Peters wins the love of Mary, who turns out to be the dead prospector's niece, "Buddy's Gal."
