Martin is finally accepted and marries the girl. Pelette tries to be brave about the matter and when the two leave on a short honeymoon trip he builds a house for the two and has it completed when they return. But daily witnessing the happiness of the two is quite too much for Pelette and after a brave struggle with himself he starts drinking. One day while in an intoxicated condition he chances to be near a stream where Gladys is bathing. The desire for the girl comes over him once more and he approaches her stealthily until she finally hears him. They struggle and he is almost on the point of getting the best of her when Martin arrives and watches spellbound. The girl manages to elude her assailant and rushes to the edge of the cliff, falling over the side into the water. This awakens Pelette and he catches himself just in time to prevent his going after her. The two men week her out on the shore below and Martin, with the right of possession, wildly pushes the other man aside and carries the unconscious girl home where later she revives and it is found that she is not seriously injured. She forgives him but Marti in obdurate. But finally because of the pleadings of the girl, he, too, forgives the man who loved and lost. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
