Bert Lytell stars in a double role of father and son in this confusing drama about love and self-sacrifice. Tommy Carteret Jr. is wrongly accused by Hartwell (Hardee Kirkland) of making improper advances towards Hartwell's wife. In reality it was Tommy's own father who was the perpetrator. Not wishing to bring dishonor to the family, Tommy himself agrees to make amens to the wronged husband. Hartwell decrees that the Carteret family move to the Kentucky backwoods until the jealous husband (Hartwell) dies. Marianna Canfield (Sylvia Breamer) is killed when she tries to warn the Carteret's of livid locals bent on revenge on the father and son. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
