Gordon wins out, and Deschamps, in a jealous rage, slanders the girl in the community. His evil tales reach Gordon's ears. He compels the "Frenchy" to apologize to Joan and to the settlers, and then drives him from the town. Several years pass. Gordon and his wife, Joan, are living in a lumbering town further north. Deschamps happens to come there to work in the camp. He gets into a quarrel with his foreman, whom he kills, and makes his escape. The lumbermen start to track the murderer and Gordon joins them, unconscious of the identity of the man they are seeking. Meanwhile, Deschamps has applied at Gordon's cottage for shelter. Joan fails to recognize him with the heavy growth of beard he now wears. Supposing him an honest lumberman worn out with travel, she hospitably welcomes him. That night Deschamps cuts off his beard and goes into Joan's room. A fierce struggle ensues, in which she loses consciousness. Deschamps carries her to the top of a high cliff and is on the point of flinging her over onto the rocks below, when Gordon leaps out of the thicket. The next instant, Joan is in her husband's arms, and Deschamps is lying senseless under the precipice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
