Opening at an election-night ball in the mining town of Silver Bow, Mont, in the year 1904, the picture traces the lives of half-a-dozen of the guests, ending, for no particular reason, when they meet again to get the early returns in 1908. Ostensibly its three heroines are Louise, Helen, and Grace Elliott, daughters of Silver Bow's druggist, but before much footage...
