He meets in the woods Mary Forrest, a wild young product of nature, who has hurt her ankle and he carries her home. Her beauty and the daring of her unreligious nature interests him and she coquettes with him until he comes out of his shell of reserve. In a mad moment of passion he asks her to marry. The minister comes and they are married at the mountain home of the girl. They are happy for a while until the man falls back into his reserve and her frank, open nature resents his seeming indifference. He tries to force her to take an interest in religion, and in a fit of temper she throws his books on the floor and leaves him to go to his Bible class alone, and the breach between them widens. He goes to the minister with his trouble and he at first refuses to mingle with his family affairs, but agrees to, later. The Rev. Hugh Howard is a fine handsome chap and earnest in his work. The wife, not realizing what she was doing, thinks to get even with her husband and accepts the minister's endeavor to interest her. She draws him on and listens to all his teaching. In doing so she becomes fascinated by the man without his knowing it, and one day when her husband enters the doorway unseen by either she throws herself in the minister's arms. The husband leaves the house broken-hearted. He gets his gun bent on murder. Meanwhile the minister has flung the woman from him. He scathingly rebukes her and she breaks down realizing what she has done and sobs. The minister leaves. The husband returns and without noticing his wife gets his revolver and goes to the minister's. The wife follows. Lusk enters the minister's study and tells him he is going to kill him for breaking up his home. The minister, unafraid, turns on the man and tells him that it is all his own fault that his wife has acted the way she has and that he is through with both of them. The man lowers his gun and apologizes, then exits. The wife coming along hides as he comes out. She sees him throw the gun from him in horror and thinks that he has committed murder. He goes home and she staggers forward and falls at the door, sobbing. The minister comes out and comforts her, telling her it is all right to go home to her husband. After she makes sure the minister is alive she goes home and finds her husband. They become reconciled. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
