Plot

Linda (Helen Foster), a tender, romantic girl, is forced by her brutal father to marry Decker (Noah Beery, Sr.) an elderly lumberman who quickly realizes that Linda is not happy with him and does everything he can to make her life easier. Linda falls in love with Dr. Paul Randall (Warner Baxter), but remains with her husband until a scheming woman steps in and claims to be Decker's first and legal wife. Linda then goes to the city to live with her former schoolteacher and again meets Dr. Randall, but must leave him to return north and care for Decker, who has been hurt in a lumbering accident. Learning that the woman claiming to be Decker's wife is a fraud, Linda gallantly sticks with her husband until he finally dies from his injuries. Linda and the good doctor are then free to find happiness with each other.

gollark: How does it detect muons?
gollark: You just have two particles where, if one has property X, the other is known to have the opposite property, is my very limited understanding.
gollark: I don't think that's how entanglement works either.
gollark: I think these are more targeted at computer things where you can deal with piecewise functions or whatever more easily, but still interesting.
