When James Trevlyn's father, a financier battling profiteers who are trying to corner the wheat market, is murdered by his enemies, James leaves his mines in the West and comes to Wall Street to assume his father's struggle. The profiteers foment a Bolshevist strike at Trevlyn's mines in his absence, but Eleanor, Trevlyn's sweetheart, finds his double in a mission house, and Trevlyn hurries to the mines while his double takes his place on Wall Street. In the West, Trevlyn is kidnapped by thugs, while his double is bribed by the profiteers and changes sides. Mistaken for a wanted murderer, Trevlyn is saved by Eleanor, who establishes his identity. The battle on Wall Street ends with Trevlyn eight million dollars richer.
