George Denton is a chap from the city on an outing in the mountains and occupies a cabin just over the ridge from the cabin where Nancy lives with her father, Sid Briggs. One day when she is out with her lover, they hear violin music issuing from Denton's cabin, and Mat informs Nan that it is only the city chap playing on his violin. She is entranced with the music and to Mat's annoyance, she will not notice the music he endeavors to make upon his harmonica. She approaches the cabin and listens silently. Denton, within, catches her reflection in a mirror and a friendship between the two is formed. Mat becomes jealous and when he has witnessed several meetings between his sweetheart and the city chap, informs Nancy's father of what is going on. Nancy is in Denton's cabin listening to his music. She notices a picture of a woman and a child upon his mantel and. upon making inquiries, learns that it is Denton's wife and little boy. She rushes from the place in tears. Denton is at a loss to understand. Nancy returns to her father and refuses to explain her sudden grief. The old man and Mat imagine they understand and Mat, the crack shot of the country, determines to have revenge. He stealthily approaches Denton's cabin, gun in hand and takes a shot at what he thinks is Denton within the cabin. He knows that his aim is unerring and having fired, turns and hastens away. His shot, however, has been aimed at Denton's reflection in the large mirror and not at the man himself. Conscience-stricken, Mat has visions of himself surrounded by the sheriff's posse and a rope around his neck. He returns to Briggs and his daughter. Nancy surmises what has happened when she sees the gun in his hand. They look up and see Denton coming over the ridge. Mat is overjoyed. His hands are not stained with blood after all. Nancy has learned her lesson, and Mat has no difficulty in rewarding the love of his mountain sweetheart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
