They open their store and Abie and Bill become fast friends. Esther, however, is the boss of the store. She becomes a staunch follower of Jerry Howard, who arrives in Paradise to recover her father's claim to the old mine. Bill refuses to give it up so Jerry and Esther take sides against Bill and Abie.
