Rivals (1912)

Two fisher boys, Tom and Bill, are the best of friends until each discovers they both love the same girl. While she prefers Bill she likes Tom well enough to propose a novel task for her suitors, of climbing the highest peak on the island home, and securing the bead and horns of a famous wild goat, the successful man to be rewarded with her hand. They accept the test and climb the mountain, and Bill has the good fortune to shoot the goat. He makes his camp for the night and his rival, who has heard the shot, tries to steal the trophy. Bill awakens and, in the struggle which ensues, is forced over a precipice. Tom starts away with the head and horns, but overcome by remorse, returns and rescues Bill. He carries his rival to the girl, who learns the whole story. The loser then manfully departs, leaving the happy pair to each other.
