As described in a film magazine review,[3] while a boy, Angus Burke shoots and kills a sheriff that is about to arrest his father. His mother dies, and he is tried for murder but is acquitted. He works for the local newspaper, but prejudice forces him to leave the town. Twelve years later, he returns and takes possession of the newspaper. He exposes a plot that intended to rob the citizens and then weds his childhood sweetheart Lydia.
A print of The Steadfast Heart survives in France at the Centre national du cinéma archive in Fort de Bois-d'Arcy.[4]
