As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Clive Grenfel (McGrail), returning home unexpectedly, saw "when the door opened" his wife in another man's arms. He kills this man Fredericks and seeks solace in the northwoods. There he meets stern old De Fontenac (Keenan), a courtly gentleman of the old school, and his beautiful granddaughter Teresa (Logan), who falls in love with him. Believing himself a murderer, Clive fights against this love. A stranger appears and turns out to be a villain. Clive finally learns that the stanger is really Fredericks and that he has married Clive's wife who secured a divorce. No longer believing himself to be a slayer, Clive is now happy in the arms of Teresa.
