Synopsis
Young Eric Southard is sent by Herbert Grayson, his lumber magnate uncle, to secure a tract of land owned by John Mathis, a man who hates Grayson because he blames him for the death of his son. While in the timberlands, Eric meets Mathis' daughter Renie, and the two fall in love and are secretly married. Soon after the wedding, Eric is summoned home by his uncle and is injured in an auto accident. His abrupt departure leads Renie to believe that he has deserted her and when Renie's father tries to force her to marry mountaineer Bud Weaver, she breaks down and confesses that she is a modern magdalene and is disowned by her father. Desperate, Renie goes to Peets, the mill foreman, to find out what has happened to the man she loves. Peets attacks her and she kills him in self-defense. Renie is tried for murder, but is saved by Eric who proves that he is really her husband and successfully defends her in court.
