The Higher Law (1914)
Jack Byrnes, a secret service man, spends his vacation in the Virginia mountains. There he meets Bertha Herman, who, with her father, a famous counterfeiter, is in hiding from the New York police. Byrnes falls in love with Bertha and wants to marry her, but she refuses and goes away, giving as her reason that she is not good enough for an honest mountaineer. Byrnes, being roughly dressed, thinks her mistake is natural. Byrnes is brought hack to New York by the secret service to look for Herman and fails to find him. He then puts a notice of his death in the papers and Herman falls for the bait and comes back to New York and Byrnes captures him, but he escapes and Bertha marries Byrnes after all.
