- A widowed farmer, failing in his efforts to find a woman capable of running his household, decides to marry a young woman he believes can fill the bill. Wat he doesn't know is that she is running away from a brutish and violent husband, whom she has discovered is also a bigamist, and that her angry and vengeful husband is looking for her.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Alida Armstrong is married to Wilson Ostrom. She is contented. Ostrom lives in fear of discovery by his deserted wife. The deserted wife with her brother find where he lives. Confronting Alida, the wife reveals Ostrom's duplicity. Ostrom shoots the brother, and in horror and despair Alida flees, bareheaded, out into a terrific tempest. Semi-dazed and exhausted, she is rescued by a policeman and taken to the poor-house. While convalescing Alida meets and marries James Holcroft, a handsome farmer, who comes seeking a housekeeper. He has had a long series of wretched housekeepers. Holcroft mourns for bis dead wife. Alida falls in love with Holcroft, but he does not know it. His thoughts are all of the farm. Holcroft's neighbors show their disapproval of his poor-house bride by a mock serenade. They become boisterous and ugly-tempered. Holcroft, singlehanded, drives them, after a severe fight, from the place. Holcroft is wounded in the head. By chance Ostrom, now a widower, finds Alida. The emotions of the meeting, the decisions that it causes to be made, and of the causes of the fatal struggle on the cliff edge, where Holcroft comes into the full glory of his awakened love the film story tells in a dramatic manner.—Moving Picture World synopsis
