Beauty and the Ugly One (1913)
The Ugly One leaves his mountain home to woo Beauty of the prairie. Brawn also feels the spring call and wends his way to the home of Beauty. The Ugly One pleads for love, but is denied and Brawn wins Beauty. Later Beauty goes to row on the river, but her canoe is overturned and she is saved by the Ugly One, who still lingers in the neighborhood. Recovering from the first shock, Beauty, in her delirium, takes Ugly One to be Brawn and clings to him. The Ugly One at first thinks she loves him for his heroism, then realizes that he is playing another's part. He takes her to his mountain home and his mother helps restore her mind. Brawn misses Beauty and searches for her. Finding the canoe, he mourns her as dead until hope rises again. He follows the trail toward the Ugly One's home. The Ugly One, meanwhile, takes his rifle and waylays Brawn on the mountain trial. He is about to shoot him down when love conquers temptation and he lets Brawn go unharmed. Brawn goes to the cabin and the sight of him restores Beauty's mind. She is led away by Brawn and the Ugly One, sobbing like a child, sinks to his knees and seeks solace in his mother's caresses.
