When Stephen's wealthy friends see the cash, assuming he has struck gold, they all rush to invest in his mining operation.

Meanwhile out west, the owner of a neighboring mine, James Morgan, finds out that the line of ore that Mike is working on traverses both his and Stephen's property.

However, the plan backfires as the explosion reveals the gold ore. A complete 35 mm print of Ready Money is held by the Library of Congress.
