Eve's sister Lilith chooses to go back east, dreaming of becoming rich, and years later becomes a singer and dancer in [[St. Louis]]. While performing at a [[music hall]], she attracts the attention of [[professional gambler]] Cleve van Valen, who learns that she has just inherited a [[California Gold Rush|California gold mine]].

On a [[wagon train]] heading west, Lilith partners with an elderly woman named Agatha; Cleve joins them to avoid his debts and to swindle Lilith of her gold. Wagonmaster Roger Morgan and Cleve court her along the way, but she rejects them both. Surviving an arduous trek and an attack by the [[Cheyenne]] together, Lilith falls for Cleve. The pair eventually arrive at the mine, but discover that it is worthless. Cleve leaves; Lilith returns to work in a camp town's dance hall, heartbroken. Morgan finds her and again proposes marriage, to no avail.

Later, Lilith performs on a [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]] [[riverboat]]. By chance, Cleve is a passenger. The pair happily reunite, and Cleve proposes to her, telling her of the business opportunities waiting in [[San Francisco]]. She accepts his proposal.
