Robert is offered the superintendency of a mine in the west on two conditions: first, that he report at once, and second, that he bring a wife with him. He proposes to his old sweetheart, but she rejects him. He next proposes to another, who accepts until she sees that he is wearing the picture of his sweetheart. He proposes to a third, but is rejected. Then he goes into the telegraph office to wire that he cannot accept the offer. In the office he meets Victoria, an old acquaintance, he proposes, and is accepted. In the meantime sweetheart No. 1 finds a telegram which Robert dropped, telling of the offer of $10,000 if he will report with a wife. She goes in search of Robert. Sweethearts No. 2 and 3 also go in search of the victim. He finds the three waiting for him, but beats them to the church and is married to his old acquaintance.
