He is sweet on Nell, who he has known all his life. Just as he is about to propose to her, he finds out that he has missed his opportunity as Diamond Dan, a big city slicker, has already proposed to her, to which she's accepted. Regardless, she has always loved Jim more as a brother. But when Jim finds out that Diamond Dan isn't as upstanding as he appears, Jim has to decide whether to let Diamond Dan go as Nell loves him, or arrest Diamond Dan and risk losing Nell's friendship.
