Plot.
As described in a film magazine, Kathleen St. John (Gleason) of Montreal goes to the north woods to teach school and forget an unfortunate love affair. She is attacked by Louis Courteau (Chaney) in the
woods and Bateese Latour (Salisbury), commonly known as "that devil, Bateese," saves her from Courteau's unwanted embraces. Bateese falls madly in love with her, and when an opportunity presents itself he forces her to marry him. Later, when her former lover turns out to be untrue, she turns to Bateese, who has attempted to take his own life by allowing his canoe to go over a waterfall. Kathleen finds happiness she little dreamed of in the strong arms of Bateese.
