Jim, a stranger, comes and gains her affection as he is turning from her mountain lover, Cooley. But Jim has no intention of keeping his promise of marriage, and when Gertrude appeals to him, rejects her and assaults Dick, who interferes in Gertrude's behalf. The mother learns that Jim is going away, leaving his promise unfulfilled. He has started down the mountain stream in his canoe. The mother follows on horseback, overtakes him, and, at the point of a revolver, forces him to return. A mountaineer parson marries Gertrude and Jim, the bridegroom's reluctance overcome by the mother's pistol. This accomplished she orders Jim to go, and once free he takes to his canoe. Dick arrives, followed by the mountaineers, whom he has told of his injuries and who are bent on vengeance. The mother explains the situation to them and they abandon their quest. But Jim is not to escape nature's vengeance for his injury to her child. He is caught in the whirling rapids of the stream, his canoe is capsized, and his body is carried down through the angry waters to the quieter below. Gertrude is left to forget the stranger, and in time her reception of a little gift from Cooley shows that her future holds hope of happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
