Calvert's wife sees what is happening and runs toward them. Judson has picked up his shotgun, and in the struggle that ensues the gun is discharged, killing Mrs. Calvert. Judson is haunted by the memory, and on his deathbed adjures his son, Bob, to refrain from evil passions, so that his life may be a blessing, and not a curse, like his father's. Bob determines to enter the ministry, and attends a divinity college. Calvert's daughter, Hallie, reaches womanhood, and the mountain missionary persuades her father to send her to school. Here she meets Bob Judson by accident, and after scorning him as she has been taught to do, is touched by his sincerity. After their graduation the young folks start home together and are married by the missionary. Hallie runs ahead to surprise her father. When he learns that she has married the son of the man who embittered his life, his wrath is terrible. He snatches up his gun and goes forth to kill. Just as Judson and the missionary round a bend in the trail, he fires. Hallie, running to warn her husband, crosses the trail just as her father pulls the trigger, and receives the bullet. As she falls, Bob and her father simultaneously rush forward and recognize each other. Calvert's rage is unloosed, and, although horror-stricken, he still endeavors to wreak vengeance on Bob. The minister restrains him, saying, "This is the result of your desire for vengeance." Hallie recovers from her wound, and by her love for both brings the two men together as friends. Calvert having learned a bitter lesson from the terrible whim of fate. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
