It centers on a San Francisco dentist and his wife as their marriage unravels and the relationship turns increasingly tense. As jealousy, greed, and a fixation on money take hold, their domestic life shifts toward conflict. After McTeague loses his dental practice due to betrayal, the couple’s situation deteriorates, with poverty taking a heavier toll. Meanwhile, the wife’s attachment to hoarding grows more pronounced, heightening the strain between them. The narrative ultimately drives the couple toward a climactic confrontation in the desolate landscape of Death Valley, shaped by unresolved resentment and the consequences of stolen gold.
