Gamblers Jim Turner and Valarie part company in Chicago and agree to meet at Saratoga with Jim stopping off at Barrowville en route. There, Jim meets George Mayhew and Eight Ball, a barbershop bootblack, and replenishes his bankroll gambling on pitching horseshoes. George's mother and his sister Marjorie run a boarding house and Jim goes there to live. George and Jim go to Bellport Park and meet "Broadway", owner of "Lady Luck", a thoroughbred race horse. Jim bets on the horse and wins heavily. He falls in love with Marjorie and wins her away from Preston Barrow when he forswears gambling and promises to get a $20-per-week job which represents Peggy's idea of respectability. Christmas Eve, 1934, finds Jim a night clerk in a small Chicago hotel, playing the horses only on paper for his amusement. Jim is given some money by Joe, a pal of gambler/race horse owner Jed Bright, in appreciation for a racing tip he had given. Jim had planned on sending the money to Marjorie's needy mother but uses most of it to pay a broken-down actor's hotel bill. He then runs the rest of the money into a big roll gambling and accepts a job from Bright.

He gives a thousand to Valerie and the remainder to Marjorie the next morning. Jim and Marjorie have a showdown and she admits to sticking with him through pity and he to her through a sense of responsibility. They part company happily---Marjorie to marry Preston (which may or may not be news to ol' Preston), and Jim to return to the track and gambling life with Valerie, (who may or may not have asked him about the missed meeting in Saratoga.)

The Apache Chiefs and Sub-Chiefs, Naitche, Ketena, Tahchilsa and others, come to the reservation barracks and demand liquor. They are very angry at the refusal given, and Lieutenant Davis, in charge, is apprehensive of trouble. The Apaches return to camp and make the squaws brew tizwin, their native liquor. A scout sees the effects of the brew and notes the braves in full war paint dancing. The scout reports to Lieut. Davis, who sends Second Lieut. Clark, with a troop of cavalry, to stop the warlike preparations. The troopers go to the Indian camp and the chief is informed that his tribe will be punished if he is not careful. The Indians show their resentment plainly and Chief Mangus's squaw would shoot Clark but for the interference of Mangus. After their departure, the squaw fires the braves on to action, and they start out to exterminate the Pale Face upstarts. They fire a pioneer cabin, kill the man and take the woman off. Clark reports to Davis, who leads a troop to the Indian camp and confiscates the tepees and takes the squaws prisoners. Mangus's squaw, Huera, being amongst the number. The Indians swear a terrible oath of vengeance. From their mountain retreat they descend cautiously to the reservation barracks and Chief Mangus climbs the brush stockade and rescues his squaw, Huera. An Indian climbs a telegraph pole and cuts the wires to destroy communication. Davis deems it advisable to call for reinforcements. He finds the wires are cut. He determines upon an immediate attack and rides after the redskins. The Indians see them and plan an ambush. They see the troopers enter a pass, which leads to a sandy plain. The Indians race across the mountain path, enter the plain and bury themselves in the sand. The Cavalry comes along and falls into the trap. The Indians rise from the sand on every side and annihilate them, and all that is left the next day are the naked bodies of the dead troopers.

Lieut. Richards is in charge of the engineering corps which is running the telegraph line across the desert. Many of the Indians have never seen the poles and the wires before and are afraid of the "strings which sing." Little Mona is not afraid, but is very curious and wonders what weird song the wires sing. She tiptoes cautiously to the pole, puts her ear against it and listens, entranced at the musical hum. Lieut. Richards watches her with cynical amusement. He accosts her. She is much interested in the good looking, kind white man. He sees her again and again and amuses himself with her artlessness. She, poor child, falls in love with him and gives him a pretty string of beads. Her head and heart are so full of this stranger that she no longer listens to the young brave, Choco, and he grows suspicious and watches. A dispatch is sent to Richards from headquarters, telling him to use every precaution to avoid trouble with the unrestful Indians. He warns his men. Richards meets Mona near a telegraph pole and takes her in his arms and kisses her. He tells her that the wires are singing to her "I love you, I love you," and that they will always tell her the same sweet story. She, poor child, believes him. Choco hears and sees it all and going to his chief tells him. The chief orders Mona to stay in the camp and to keep away from the pale face. She rebels. One day an Indian tries to steal a gun and belt. A trooper fires at him and wounds him. He escapes to his tribe and the Indians jump at the excuse to start a fight. Mona divines their intentions and runs away and tells her lover of the uprising. The Indians surprise the advance body of engineers and massacre them. They tie the body of one man on a horse with an arrow still in him, and set it loose. The horse reaches the cavalry camp. The captain, doubting his ability to cope with the Indians, sends a man out to climb the nearest telegraph pole and send a message for help. The man is seen by the Indians, but manages to climb the pole and is able to send part of the message before a bullet finds its billet in his body and he falls. The unfinished message tells enough of the awful tale to enable the commander to know where to send reinforcements, and they start for the scene of unrest. Lieut. Richards and his party are hemmed in at Elks Horn. They suffer from thirst and Richards offers to go and try to break through the Indians and get water. Mona, from a hillside, sees his brave action and steals away and joins him and helps him get the water. He suffers a temporary collapse. She revives him and helps him on his way back. He gets through and the water is passed around to the suffering men. The cavalry arrives and relieves the gallant little band. Mona helps to nurse the lieutenant, but as he recovers he gets tired of her attentions and his one desire is to get east. He is promoted and granted a three months' leave of absence. Choco escapes and determines upon a terrible revenge. He gets his bow and arrows and stealthily awaits his chance to kill Richards for stealing Mona from him, for he knows the lieutenant is not in earnest. The time for Richards' departure arrives and he gets his belongings together. Mona, with a premonition of disaster, will not leave him and he looks around for an excuse to get away from her. He gets her to sit by the telegraph pole and listen to the love song and promises to return very soon. He puts his coat over her shoulders and his hat on her head and leaves her so. Choco steals up, sees what he believes to be the accursed white face and a quivering arrow pierces the trusting girl's breast. He runs up to gloat over his rival's suffering and is grief stricken at what he finds. Lieut. Richards forgets all about his flirtation with the Indian maiden as he clasps the "girl he left behind him" in his arms and Choco stands, immobile, with the grief eating his faithful heart out by the grave of little Mona in the solitary desert.
