Harris's son, Ed, loves Pearl, the only daughter of May. The lovers meet and Pearl agrees to marry Ed. But the parents of both object, and Will May threatens to kill Ed if he ever speaks to Pearl. The following day Ed Harris and Will May go into the woods to hunt game. A deer is seen browsing. Will creeps up and is about to shoot when Ed shoots behind a bush, and the bullet missing the deer, kills Will May. Ed, unconscious of the fatality, follows the deer. That night, Pearl elopes with Ed. They are married and go to a distant county to live. The next day, Will May's body is found by two hunters, one of whom, Daily, a friend of May, has seen Ed Harris hunting near the place where Will was found dead. Harris believes that Ed murdered his son, and he swears to kill on sight the man who killed his son and stole his daughter. Time passes. Ed and Pearl are happy in their little home with their infant son. Daily discovers the pair and he informs Pearl's father, who arms himself and enters Ed's cabin to kill him. Ed is rocking the baby's cradle. The old man raises his gun to shoot. A cry from the baby stays Harris's finger and saves Ed's life, for it gives the young father a chance to plead for his life. When Ed swears on the Bible that he did not kill Will, old Harris believes him. When the young wife enters, she finds her father singing the baby to sleep.
