Synopsis
Small town busybodies start gossiping when Ruth, the daughter of respected farmer Abner Blake, becomes friendly with Tom Silverton, an alcoholic with a shady past. Believing the rumors about his daughter's illicit affair with Tom, Abner throws Ruth out of the house. Tom goes looking for her, and just as he finds her, word comes that Abner's farm has caught fire. Ruth and Tom rush to the farm, rescue Abner and his wife Rachel, and then help put out the fire. Afterward, a repentant Abner asks for, and receives, forgiveness from both Ruth and Tom.

Sources conflict concerning the cameraman of this film. A review lists Jules Cronjager, while the 1918 MPSD credits both Henry Cronjager and Harry A. Fishbeck. The film was remade by the Vitagraph Co. of America in 1922, starring Warner Baxter and Colleen Moore. (See AFI Catalog of Feature Films 1921-30; F2.3847.)
