Widowed Gunhild has two daughters, and one of them, Ragnhild has fallen in love with poor boy Asmund, to her mother's dislike.

Margaret Blake, daughter of notorious gambler "Square Deal" Blake, has not told her sweetheart, Alan Howard, a son of wealth, about her father. College chum Jack Warren takes Alan to Blake's gambling house, and Alan misunderstands Margaret's affection for her dying father and breaks with her without giving her a chance to explain. Margaret inherits the gambling house. George Garnett, Blake's lawyer, who has become friendly with Alan's sister Alice, persuades Howard, Sr., to gamble his wealth ($250,000 in bonds) in a card game employing a supposedly stacked deck. He loses and dies of heart failure. Alan accuses Margaret of causing his father's death and refuses her offer to return the bonds. Alice does accept the bonds from her, but Garnett, who plans to flee to South America, has her sign them over to him. He attacks her, and Alice stabs him. Believing she has killed him, Alice flees. Margaret takes the blame, but the police arrest both. Garnett is exposed, and the film ends with Warren and Alice and Alan and Margaret about to celebrate a double wedding.

Ngawang (Damtin Tserang) is a young nomad who is the son of a talented musician. He is cocksure in his belief that he himself will become a folk singer popular among all Tibetan households. After he gets his comeuppance at a talent contest, he meets a girl who looks like the image of "Loyiter", the Goddess of art or the Goddess of Wonder, the image of whom is painted on his precious amulet. This girl tells Ngawang that his dream of greatness can come true if he records an album. Thus begins a musical odyssey across the landscape of Tibet that is packed full of surprising twists and encounters with a variety of people, be they fearsome bandits with heavy metal flair lurking in the wilderness to shoe gaze rock acts performing on the stage in the big city, all of whom provide musical inspiration as he learns the ins and outs of the modern music biz whilst holding on to traditional culture passed down to him.
