She has scorned the advances of Tom Long; heartbroken, he kills himself. His partner, John Cameron, a trapper of wild animals, is returning to the camp with his catch. Vida is warned not to tamper with him, as he has a rather bad record, having killed several men. This information but inflames her coquettish heart, and when John Cameron, furious at learning of the death of his friend, comes to the inn to berate her, she immediately practices her wiles to capture him. Cameron resists her fascination successfully for some time, but soon is a slave to her wiles. He soon admits himself conquered, but warns her at the risk of her life not to trifle with him. Vida is mastered for the first time as Cameron has made her fear him. Jim comes to the camp and Vida's fickle heart is finally awakened, and she finds herself in love. She persuades Jim to take her far away from her present surroundings, fearing that Cameron will kill her on his return from the hunt, finding her faithless to him. Jim Langdon takes her through the forest to a distant jungle. Here they live happily for three years, Vida becoming a noble woman devoted to her husband and her little child. Cameron on finding Vida gone, allows every vicious instinct to dominate him and swears vengeance, but through the years that pass, his search for her has been unsuccessful. When on a trapping expedition in the interior, he encounters Vida's daughter, who has wandered from the house, and by a well-directed shot saves the child from an onrushing lion. Returning through the forest with the child, he meets Vida's husband frantically searching for his baby. Not knowing Jim and returning to the cabin with him, he sees through the window of the cabin Vida, praying at her child's empty crib. The old hatred is still in his heart and slowly he raises his rifle intent on carrying out his vow, but at this moment Vida takes the baby from her husband's arms and it forms a shield for her heart. When Jim and Vida leave the cabin to find and thank the savior of their baby, he is gone, and Vida never knows that her nemesis has passed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
