Anyway, he decides to leave town because he has better chances of making money up North. He says goodbye to his sweetheart, who is devastated. But soon Grizzley Fallon, another prospector, comes into town and begins to court Mary. She is reluctant at first, but finally reciprocates. Then, one day, Dandy Jack returns to town and finds his old sweetheart engaged to Grizzley, who happens to be a friend of his.
