Across the Sierras (1912)

Miner Dan Harding has a wife and young daughter, but spends much of his time--and most of his money--at the barroom with his friends. One night his friend John Webster finds him drunk and broke at the bar. Knowing Dan's wife is worried about him, John takes him back to his place, where Dan passes out. When Dan awakens he returns to his home, only to see John and his daughter asleep on the chair and his wife sitting nearby sewing--not knowing that John had gone to the house to give Dan's wife money because Dan had spent all of theirs, and tired from the night's activities, had fallen asleep on the chair--Dan concludes that John and his wife are having an affair, and leaves town. Complications ensue.
