It is his ambition to have her marry Philip Boileau, a young woodsman. Annette, despite her dislike for Boileau, dares not rebel against her father's wishes. One day, Gerald Austin, a young American camper, gets off his usual trail and stops at the Dutard's to inquire his way. Dutard gives him the directions, but Austin pays little attention to them because he has suddenly caught sight of Annette. Dutard angrily orders the girl into the house and dismisses Austin coldly. Austin takes every opportunity to grow more intimate with Annette. One day Dutard surprises them together in the forest. He orders Annette home and threatens to kill Austin if he does not leave the woods. Austin follows Dutard back to his house and saves Annette from a whipping. With the assistance of Boileau, Dutard overpowers Austin, carries him out into the woods, and tying him to a sapling, leaves him to the tender mercies of hunger, exposure and the wolves. Dutard sends for the priest and makes immediate preparations for marrying Annette to Boileau. Cowed by her father's will, the girl dares not protest and proceeds with the ceremony until the moment when the priest asks her if she will take Boileau as her lawfully wedded husband. Her love for Austin overcomes her fears, and in a tensely dramatic moment she tells the priest the whole condition of affairs. A powerful scene follows in which the fearless priest completely dominates the two savage woodsmen by sheer strength of personality. Guided by Annette, he effects Austin's release and then marries the two lovers. Later he returns to Dotard, lectures him severely on the error of his ways and persuades him to turn over a new leaf.
