The Uprising of Ann (1913)
Good-looking woodsman Dan lives happily with his wife Ann, an uneducated woman, undemonstrative but intelligent and endowed with deep feeling. Their son Bobby attends the country school; the teacher, an attractive young woman, makes up her mind to capture Dan. She comes to the house on the pretext of anxiety about Bobby's truancy, but really to start her flirtation with Dan. She makes an appointment to walk with him, sending the note by Bobby. Dan gets the note and goes to meet her, but Ann finds it and deciphers it with the aid of Bobby's spelling book. The teacher, Kitty, keeps up her efforts until she has infatuated Dan and he plans to elope with her, taking all his small fortune. On the night when they agree to leave, Kitty sends Dan another note, telling him where to meet her, but Bobby drops it in the yard, where Ann finds it and gets Bobby to help her read it. She gives Dan and Bobby their supper, then puts Bobby to bed, while Dan, wondering why he does not hear from Kitty, leaves the house to find her. Ann tells Bobby to tell his father when he returns that she has gone to meet Kitty and that if he follows their trail he will find one of them. Dan cannot find Kitty and comes home to ask Bobby if he had any message from her. Bobby gives Dan his mother's message, and Dan rushes away to find the woman. Meanwhile, Ann meets Kitty and forces her into the desert, saying that the one who comes out alive can have Dan. Kitty becomes exhausted and Ann leaves her with a canteen of water. Kitty drinks all her water and collapses. Ann goes on for a while, then relents and goes back for Kitty. They meet Dan hunting for them, and Ann tells him she took Kitty to the desert to die, but that she has brought her back to him. Dan, filled with remorse, asks Ann's pardon. She forgives him and together they return to their home and Bobby to begin life anew.
