Plot

As described in a film magazine,^[1] Alaskan miner 'Kodiak' MacLean, having amassed a fortune but still a rube, arrives at the Hotel Biltmore in New York City with his daughter Juneau and her pet bear. Two confidence men work to take advantage of his ignorance and separate Kodiak from his wealth through a series of schemes, including trying to sell him the last subway station still available. Junie's bear causes a scene when it gets loose in the hotel, and she becomes friendly with one of the confidence men until it turns to hatred after he attacks her. Later, her affections turn to a man more worthy, Alan Burkett.
