He proposes marriage to her and she accepts him on probation, the probation being on account of his unruly temper and wild jealousy. If Alice tells him he can control his temper she will marry him. Ned Morris, a friend of Alice's brother, is introduced to her and is attentive to her. Bob sees this and his jealousy is aroused. The next day he is walking in the woods and he meets Ned. They have words and Bob throws him over a cliff. He believes him dead. However, Ned falls into a tree and is saved. Some men passing see him and lowering a rope lift him to safety. Bob, believing himself a murderer, exiles himself. He grows a beard and hikes west. There he lives a secluded life, living in fear that he will be discovered and arrested as a murderer. He suffers terribly and is slowly but surely cored of his jealousy and fiery temper. Meanwhile Ned recovers from his injury and again courts Alice. She refuses him, her thoughts being of her missing Bob. Ned, who is a traveling salesman, is sent on the road. He visits the town at which Bob is stopping. The boys at the hotel, out for a lark, shave the heads and faces of all in the place. Bob is one of the victims, they shaving off his beard. Ned enters the place and seeing Bob, offers him his hand. Bob, believing it a ghost, screams and faints. They carry him up to his room and Ned volunteers to stay with him until he regains consciousness. When Bob comes to he sees Ned, who assures him that Bob did not kill him. Bob assures Ned that he is sorry for the way he acted and that he will never lose control of himself again, having learned a lesson. Later, Bob returns home, and finding Alice waiting for him he renews his promises and his probation is lifted. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
