Bill's little farm near the village is none too profitable, but he manages to make a living by the sale of his geese. The chef at the Hotel Stratford declares they are the best in the country. One day Bill offers hospitality to a passing prospector, who rewards him with a few nuggets of gold. Later, while delivering a goose at the hotel, Bill sees that Rocks, the noted millionaire, is spending a brief vacation at the resort. A wild scheme comes to him. Bill cracks up the nuggets with corn and feeds his geese. He takes particular pains to see that the next offering for the hotel is well fed. The chef startles the little party on the front porch by declaring that Bill's land must be full of gold, as the geese are eating it. The wise old farmer insists that his place is not for sale, but finally submits to the overtures of Rocks. While the millionaire and his men dig up the ground, Bill enjoys a ride on the train.
