One evening, Jim runs across an old friend in Joe Taylor, who is working at a nearby lumber camp, and Jim, on his way home, hospitably invites his friend to his cabin for supper. Joe accepts, and the two wend their way through the woods to Jim's home. When Joe is left alone with Martha and the children, while Jim is looking after duties outside, Joe makes love to his friend's wife, but is repulsed by her, who begs him to remember his friend. The scene is interrupted by Jim, who returns, and the family seat themselves at the table. The next morning, after Jim has gone to work, Joe passes by Jim's cabin, and begs Martha for a cup of water. The young woman brings it for him, and after Joe has drank, he seizes the woman in his arms, secure in his belief that he can win the woman he loves, now that her husband is not about. But Martha, smarting under the insult, sends him away. That night, when Jim learns of the state of affairs between his friend and his wife, his rage is impotent, he seizes his axe and runs out into the night, determined to kill the man who had proved so treacherous. The fight in the woods with their bare fists is the most realistic of anything ever produced, and Jim leaves Joe, apparently dead. An hour later the fear-stricken survivor of the combat, having arranged to flee from the country, opens the door to Joe, a battered, broken wreck, who has gained consciousness, and dragged himself to Jim's shack. Upon Martha's plea, Jim accepts the apology of Joe, who murmurs his thanks and leaves the house forever. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
