Herbert, the judge's son who is their playmate, is a thieving, fighting, cowardly boy. Ten years elapse and the mother is dead. Annie is a loving girl and unfortunately she falls in love with the judge's son, who simply plots her seduction. Tom Pratt is suspicions and watches. Herbert, influencing the girl, plans an elopement. He takes his horse to the blacksmith's shop to be shod and then steals off with Annie to have a fake marriage ceremony performed by a college friend, who will pose as a clergyman. Tom discovers the plot and rushes to the father urging him to interfere. The blacksmith drives a long nail in the horse's hoof he is shoeing. Tom then hurries to the scene of the mock marriage but he arrives too late and finds only the counterfeit parson. The judge's son gets his horse and, mounting the girl behind him, starts off. Tom and the father pursue the runaways and the horse going lame, they are easily captured. The truth is exposed to the poor girl and the young reprobate driven away. The blacksmith and his daughter take sanctuary in the church and the vision of the dead mother smiles down through the stained-glass window. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
