A settler with a hat and jacket walks through the woods and finds two rocks that tells him to stay out. Closeup on his face as he looks across the river to see other men and a water mill. He kneels down and drinks from the river with his hand. A man with a hat, a beard, and a gun tells him to “Hold it right there”. When he looks up, the camera pans to several disgruntled gold panners staring at him on top of rocks. The man stands and realizes he recognizes someone and calls out to him and the panners cheer. Cut to the man laying in a tent next to another man with a hat over his face. He gets up and steps over the other and out of a tent where a burro and small campground are visible. Shot of a man with a pickaxe picking at a rock. Shot of the visiting man smiling.
