Shannon abducts Torquessa, leaving Joe heartbroken. A year later Joe, by accident, discovers Torquessa's whereabouts and finds her in a hut with a little newly-born baby, deserted by Shannon. Shannon, upon learning that Joe knows of his crime, has the latter indicted under the Mann White Slave Act. Joe's innocent complicity in caring for Torquessa, gives the authorities sufficient grounds for the application of the act. Joe is brought to trial and in his desire to shield Torquessa states to the Court that she is his wife. As this is manifestly a lie, he is about to be convicted by the jury when in a fit of rage he shoots down Shannon, thus prejudicing the case against him still further. Torquessa, learning of Joe's peril, attends the trial with her little baby, and the sudden knowledge that he is a father superseding the evil in Shannon's nature, he makes a full confession of his crime, exonerating Joe. Joe and Torquessa are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
