John Michael Murphy teams up with prospector Moses Gage to shelter a group of orphans who are being threatened with a workhouse. Murphy disguises himself as a priest and befriends a schoolmarm to help the children find a home.

Instead, Murphy marries the schoolmarm and they get custody of the children.
