Her future actions toward Raymond prove to Evans that he has lost her affections. This fans his animosity to revengeful hatred. A hunting accident to Raymond a few days later gives Evans his chance for revenge. He is sent to repair a damaged telephone wire which Raymond had accidentally caused. Ruth overhears his threats because he had left his tests connected. While Evans drags Raymond to edge of the train tracks and drops him over, Ruby hurries to the rescue with a doctor. Meanwhile, Evans meets his just deserts by a fatal mis-step in again climbing the pole to disconnect the tests, and Raymond tries to rescue him, though just in time from a passing train. Raymond collapses in Ruby's arms as the doctor crosses Evans' arms as a sign of his just death. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
