Hedge of Heart's Desire (1916)
Arthur, a ne'er-do-well, receives a letter from his father stating that no more funds will be sent to the son who has disgraced the family name. Arthur reads in a paper of Betty Chester's entrance into society. He tells the saloon keeper that he once knew the Chesters in the old days, and that if he had sufficient money he could win the girl. The saloon keeper furnishes the funds and Arthur sues for Betty's hand. A hedge separates the Chesters' home from the home of Peggy McCann, who has a sweetheart named Denny. Betty appreciates the sincere love the two have for each other, for she questions the sincerity of her own suitor. One day in a brawl Arthur kills a man and endeavors to fasten the blame upon Denny. He also, in the struggle that ensues, accidentally shoots and seriously wounds Peggy McCann. Betty then discovers the true caliber of the man who seeks to wed her; she leads a search for him and is instrumental in bringing retribution.
