Arriving there, she finds that her considerate parents have chosen for her a husband. The individual whom they have chosen for this honor happens to be an effeminate, insipid, very sanctimonious little minister. Upon meeting him Agnes laughs in his face, much to the humiliation of the minister and the consternation of her strait-laced parents. Thinking to cure her of some of her crudeness, her father sends her to his brother down in Kentucky, where she roams the mountain fastness in untrammeled freedom. One day while wandering about in the hills she becomes lost and is found and taken to her uncle's home by one of a queer duo of mountaineer brothers who harbor an inborn and intense hatred for each other. One of these men is a veritable giant in size and strength while the other, the one who rescued Agnes, is of small build and slight strength, but is possessed of a superior cunning. Soon she becomes acquainted with both these brothers and both fall deeply in love with her. Finally, one night the younger and smaller brother, tries to force himself upon her and he is confronted by the giant. In a dissolve the reason for this hate is revealed. As a result of this encounter the weaker man devises a diabolical scheme to put his brother out of the way. Fortunately for the giant, the scheme fails and he passes the trap unscathed. In the meantime, Agnes has felt herself drawn to the larger man by his sheer animal magnetism. She seems on the point of confessing her love for him when, through a cruel act, his true nature is revealed and she turns from him. Soon after she meets the Rev. Hugh Baxton, a real man at last, and to him she surrenders unconditionally. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
