Moran, the proprietor of the still to which the doctor comes, sends his daughter, Kate, to head the stranger off. The doctor and she engage in conversation. They are watched by Bill Driver, one of the moonshiners, who is in love with Kate. Later the still is raided. The old man is wounded and taken prisoner. Kate flirts with the leader of the officers and while the latter's attention is off his prisoners, she jumps on the horse on which her father has been placed and dashes down the mountainside to safety. She discovers that her father has been seriously wounded. Kate then rides desperately through a cordon of officers and returns to the cave with Goring. The doctor attends to the old man and stays several days at the cave. Kate and the doctor are attracted to each other. Her gratitude turns to love and she consents to became Goring's wife. Later we find her married to Goring. Her husband is wealthy and she is the leader of an ultra-smart social set. For a while she is contented with the novelty of her surroundings, but soon her heart hungers for the wild life of the mountains. Her old lover has served a prison term; on his release he seeks Kate in her city home. A ball is being given in her honor. Kate wanders out to the terrace, and indulges in reveries. Driver, her old lover suddenly appears through the shrubbery. Goring has become, more and more wrapped up in his profession. His love has never faltered, but he detests the butterfly life his wife is leading. There have been scenes, many and violent, between them. Goring goes into the garden to smoke a cigar and witnesses the scene between Driver and Kate. He hears her tell Driver how she longs for the old life as well as her promise to Driver to go back to the mountains. He does not know that Driver has brought a message from her dying father. He hears her tell Driver to meet her later with an extra horse. Later Kate discovers her husband seated at his desk. He does not notice her entry into the room. She tells him of her proposed journey. Goring does not reply. Kate upbraids him for not coming to the ball, for his neglect and his coldness. Then she changes her mood and speaks gently to him. Angered at his failure to reply, she tells him she is going back to the life she has always longed for. She enacts again the wild scenes in her life and lashes herself to a passion where her husband looks at her in contemptuous silence. She then tears down the curtains, smashes the bric-a-brac and leaves in a mad tempest of rage for the mountains. She arrives at her old home in the cave in time to ease the last hours of her dying father. She and Bill Driver bury the old man in the cave. Goring has followed his wife to the mountains, and finds her and Driver together. At first his rage overcomes him and he starts to kill Driver. When he learns of the death of Kate's father, however, a reconciliation takes place in the cave over the grave of the old man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
