Pettigrew, a shop-keeper in a mountain town of Kentucky, falls in love with the teacher, Beatrice. The girl doesn't consider him as a lover, so he gets angry and accuses her of molesting his son Edward who has a mental illness. The girl marries the hermit, Fear O'God Fulton in order to calm the people's anger and day by day she falls in love with her husband and a child is born. Pettigrew hides Edward and charges the hermit with his son's murder. Fear O'God is imprisoned but he escapes and takes refuge in the mountain with his wife and son.

Trivia
No prints of this film ('Hitchcock, Alfred' 's second) are known to have survived and no one has seen it since the late 1920s. Please check your attic.
The filming of exteriors in Austria was delayed by heavy snow. A local fire brigade was finally persuaded to use their manual pump to wash the snow off a group of houses and the street nearby.
Nita Naldi fainted from exhaustion at one point during filming. She recovered almost immediately and merely complained that the floor was too hard.
