- On adjoining homesteads on the edge of the desert lived Roy Webster and his intended bride, May Mason. May had prepared her gown but longed for a veil, and Roy was persuaded to make a journey to the town in search of the desired article. In a typical dance hall, a woman known as the Desert Siren charmed the miners and cattlemen. There Roy met her. Unskilled in the ways of the world he fell a victim of the woman's fascination but resisted the spell and rode away from town only to be drawn back again. His frequent visits to town aroused in May's mind the suspicion that he had acquired a passion for gambling and she induced her father to follow Roy. The father learned the truth and returning to his daughter was unable to prevent her reading in his face the real reason for the frequent absences of her lover. Soon afterward news of a rich gold strike in another region reached the town, and there followed a mad rush for the new "diggings." The town was practically deserted and Bellerin Blake with his outfit of girls and gamblers was among the leaders. At the water hole where the stampeders camped the first night a fight broke out over the Siren and Monte Culbert, the gambler, lost his life. The uproar terrified the Siren so that she rushed in a panic away from the water hole. All night she wandered until she dropped exhausted. Meanwhile May. seeking to forget her misery, rode out into the desert. She came upon the unconscious Desert Siren and putting her on her horse hurried home. Roy, going to town again to see the Siren, found everything deserted and returned disconsolate. Passing May's house he decided to stop and visit her and entered just in time to find the Siren restored to consciousness. In the recognition between Roy and the Siren May found her worst suspicions confirmed. Bursting into tears she rushed out of the house throwing herself sobbing on the ground outside. Left alone in the house with Roy, the Siren demanded to know the reason for the other woman's tears. Roy explained but urged that his passion for her was stronger than his old love for May. Despite her life there still existed within the heart of the Desert Siren a spark of true womanhood which would not let her be the means of separating the lovers. Realizing that Roy's attachment for her was not lasting she bared her life and shattered his illusions. Then taking him by the hand she leads him outside and restores him to the girl, herself shrinking quietly out of the background and out of the lives of the two reunited lovers.—Moving Picture World synopsis
