Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dan Murphy loves Peggy O’Sullivan. but he is too poor to think of matrimony. Dan sells his one cow, bids farewell to the weeping Peggy, and sets sail across the Atlantic for America. Arriving there, he makes track for a mining camp, where he has many adventures until he strikes it rich. Immediately he writes to Peggy, sending her money to come on to be married. But the mail bag containing his precious missive falls from the stagecoach and is rifled by a marauding Indian. In the meantime Peggy is very much worried, for she has not heard from Dan for weeks. Finally she can stand it no longer. Her aunt has died and she sells the few things she possesses and begins the journey to America. Arriving in America she goes to Dan’s last known address and on the way meets two working girls who befriend her. Dan has disappeared, however, and the only clue to his whereabouts is a picture postal card bearing the postmark of the western mining camp. Undaunted, Peggy packs up her few belongings, and in the course of time arrives at the camp to the delight of Dan. It doesn’t take long to summon the priest and they are married.
