For years the Griggs and Danvers have been engaged in a deadly feud. One morning as Bill Danver is hitching his horse to the plow, the animal runs away and Danver, who is dragged over the ground, suffers a broken leg. The horse returns to the stable and Mrs. Danver, full of apprehension, goes in search of her husband. Grigg's little son, playing with a jackknife, cuts the eighth notch on the gun handle. When Mrs. Danver comes to the Grigg cabin, with rifle in hand, she sees the newly cut notch and surmises that her husband has been added to the list of Grigg's victims. Danver makes his way painfully over the field and is picked up by a farmer. Grigg, despite his protests of innocence, is arrested and is about to be dealt with severely when the injured man reaches the scene and explanations follow, The black looks of the two enemies soften when they discover that their innocent children are playmates, Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
