He is his family's sole survivor and loathes the feud he has inherited. His foes are Bess Browne and her brother Lester, the last of their family. One day Walt is attracted by Bess and her brother who fire at him, breaking the window pane over his shoulder. Walt rushes from the house with a rifle and a roll of rope with the determination of ending the feud once and for all. As he rushes from the house he sees Les's rifle leveled at him and is forced to shoot him in self-defense. While Bess is attempting to revive her brother, Walt smashes Les's gun over the rocks. Walt then binds her hand and foot and carries them to their home; shortly after Les dies and Bess swears vengeance on Walt. Walt, in the meantime, has packed all his belongings and goes to the city to study his profession. Bess goes to Walt's cabin in her search for him and meets the old mountaineer, who tells her Walt has gone to the city. Bess follows Walt to the city and gets work in a hospital in hope of meeting him. Five years later, Walt has become a famous surgeon. Bess is a nurse in another hospital. One day while she is on her way to the hospital, she is injured in an elevated railway accident. The injured are taken to the hospital where Walt is head surgeon. A doctor examines her injuries and tells Walt that she must have a great deal of someone else's blood if she is to recover. Walt bends over to examine her and recognizes Bess. He then offers his own blood to restore Bess's life. The operation is performed and is successful. When Bess has recovered, she asks to meet the man who saved her life. Walt orders the attending physician to bandage his head so that she will not recognize him. They have a long talk and Bess tells Walt that she can't accept his love until she has performed her one mission in life which is to have the life of the man who killed her brother. A short time elapses and Walt is called to perform a very difficult operation at the hospital where Bess is a nurse. The operation over, Walt removes his mask and Bess, who is the attending nurse, recognizes him and draws a revolver, which she has carried for five years. She levels it at Walt saying, "I want your blood." Walt wrenches the gun from her hand, saying, "You have my blood; it is running in your veins now." Bess then learns that Walt was the one who saved her life and permits the young doctor to take her revolver from her and to fold her in his arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
