Love's Savage Hate (1915)
Andrea Moreno, a wealthy, high-class Mexican, together with his wife and daughter, Anita, persist in occupying their hacienda despite the fact that there is danger from raids of brigands operating under the guise of revolutionists. Anita has two lovers: one, Gabriel Romero, from the great city some miles away; the other, Jose Fulano, who owns a small mine in the foothills. One day both of Anita's lovers arrive at the hacienda at the same time. The girl has not made up her mind which one she will accept. Both show jealousy. At the juncture, Miguel Parodis, at the head of his bandits, descends on the hacienda. There was no means of defense, so, at the suggestion of Jose, father, mother and daughter, together with Gabriel, retreat to Jose's cabin in the mountains, where there are rifles and a position easy of defense. The rebels besiege the cabin, the defenders returning their fire through port holes in the door. Wrought up to a high pitch of excitement and anxiety during the battle, Anita finds that it is Gabriel she loves and she throws herself into his arms and Jose is beside himself with jealousy. For five days the rebels besiege the cabin. The food gone, the defenders decide to cast lots among the men to select one to go for aid. It falls to Gabriel to go. Jose, from a window at the rear, sees a party of bandits prowling in the ravine, but none of the others see them. A plan to get rid of his rival occurs to him and he tells Gabriel that there is a safe means of escape through the ravine. Gabriel, unsuspecting, follows his advice, and is captured before he has proceeded a quarter of a mile. From the window, Anita, watching, sees him fall into the hands of the bandits. Impulsively she follows, as they march their prisoner to the camp. Concealed in a thicket, Anita sees Gabriel takes before Parodis and the band and condemned to be executed. When he is tied to a tree she makes her way to him unseen and cuts his bonds. Before the firing squad can make ready, Gabriel vanishes into the thick background of shrubbery. The rebels pursue the girl and her lover. The fugitives climb the steep bluff behind Fulano's mine, first stopping to seize a box of dynamite at the mine entrance. When the rebels reach the foot of the cliff and prepare to follow. Gabriel hurls the box among them. The impact of the falling box explodes the dynamite and the band is wiped out. Gabriel and Anita return to Jose's cabin and are greeted by the girl's parents, but Jose, realizing that his treachery is discovered and that the girl can never be his, takes his own life.
