A Romance of the Backwoods (1915)
Rosemary, a visitor from the city, wandering through the woods, is accidentally struck by a low-hanging tree branch. She tries to break the branch off, but finding it too strong, takes the sheath knife from her companion's belt and starts to wreak havoc with the offending limb. The knife suddenly slips, causing a slight wound in her finger. Shaw, her companion who has fallen in love with her, leads her to Harry's cabin, where the finger is bandaged. Rosemary starts a flirtation with Harry, much to Shaw's displeasure, who, later upbraids her for her conduct. She reminds him of Harry's unshaven face and ragged clothes and tells him she was only having a little fun with "the poor hick." Harry overhears her remark and decides to retaliate. As a matter of fact, Harry is a wealthy sportsman from New York. Rosemary rises early the next morning, and decides to visit Harry. She finds a very different man. He is now shaved and wearing a fine suit of clothes. Rosemary is now more than ever desirous of completing her conquest. Harry has changed his tactics and holds himself very much in reserve. This gets on her nerves. Although she displays her art as a coquette there are no results. Meantime, Shaw has followed and arrives just in time to see the flirtation. Rosemary becomes disgusted and tells Harry he had better go shoot his dinner and leaves him to meet Shaw, who is worked up to a jealous rage and starts to strangle her. Harry hears the quarreling and shoots Shaw in the arm. He then takes the repentant Rosemary back to the cabin, where he finds a note telling him to return home. Rosemary, finding herself in love with the man she supposed to be a hick, agrees to return to the city with him.
