Luke found gold, started his own town and needs a wife to complete the picture. However circumstances embarrass him in Seattle so he heads farther down the coast. Finally he reaches Los Angeles in time to meet a delicate young lady.

Temperance is driving her Grandfather to desperation. None of the old families will offer for his wild young Granddaughter and it wouldn't look good to sell her.

Alaska is just about as far away as she can be sent without leaving the Continent.
