When gorgeous gold digger Mary (Hopkins) lands in San Francisco - only to discover that her wealthy fiance has been murdered - she loses no time hooking up with the richest crook in town (Robinson). But when she unexpectedly falls for a handsome, idealistic miner, she soon learns just how much money can't buy - and just how much she'll risk for a love that worth its weight in gold.
