The Call of the Desert (1912)
Ben Crawford and his wife, Marion, live in a cabin near Ben's gold prospect. Marion longs for the city. The opportunity arrives when she receives a telegram telling her that her uncle has left her his fortune, provided she lives in his old home. They depart for the city. Bill is left behind in charge of the prospect, with instructions to keep Ben posted. Marion plunges into the pleasures of society and indulges in a flirtation with Captain Everett, a society man. Ben gradually becomes conscious of the fact that the Captain is causing unnecessary gossip, and seeing him bending over Marion and talking in too affectionate manner to her, he asserts himself and orders the Captain to go. Ben goes back to his mine and his freedom. Upon his arrival he finds that he possesses valuable property, but he grieves over the separation. Old Billy sees his listlessness and sends a telegram to Marion stating that Ben is seriously ill. Marion receives the telegram; it is the call she has been awaiting and she hurries to Ben. She arrives at the cabin and their old differences go into the land of forgetfulness as they hold each other tightly.
