Temper (1915)

Frank Bradbury, twenty years old, leaves home because his father's ungovernable temper has made life unendurable. He battles hard to conquer the same emotionalism which he has inherited from his father. The only vicious exhibition of Frank's temper occurs when a schoolmate annoyed his childhood sweetheart, Rose Claybourne. He was expelled from school because of the terrific beating he gave the youth. He becomes engaged to Rose and together they return to his home, seeking his father's consent to their engagement. The mothers of both are hopeful for a reconciliation. Because she had sanctioned the boy's return home, his mother is attacked by the father. Frank arrives while the father shakes his fist in her face and Frank kills him with a paper weight, is brought to trial and acquitted on the grounds that he was justified in the act as he was protecting his mother. Rose and he marry.
