Griffith]; producer, [Florence Lawrence; Arthur Johnson; Herbert Yost]; photography, [G.W. Bitzer; A.L. Marvin]Description:Adventure film, set in Canada. A trapper finds a Canadian hunter lost in the woods and brings him home. He and his wife help the wanderer to regain his health, only to have him make advances to the trapper's wife. The opening scene shows a portion of a lake in front of a rustic cabin. The trapper, axe over his shoulder, can be seen in the distance. A woman emerges from the cabin to greet him. The camera pans to follow the two of them then moves in for a close "two shot" to better identify them. The picture concludes dramatically when the wife rescues her trapper husband from a bear trap placed in his path by the ungrateful woodsman who had been their guest.Language:SilentNotes:Genre:AVENTUREDetailed holdings information: -
