Algie the Miner

Algie, an effeminate and flamboyant young man, wants to marry the daughter of Harry Lyons, but Lyons won't approve until Algie proves himself to be a man. Algie heads west to try his hand at prospecting and soon finds himself under the tutelage of Big Jim, a rough and brawny miner who before long begins to depend on Algie as much as Algie depends on him.
