- DirectorD.W. GriffithStarsCharles Hill MailesClaire McDowellCharles GormanMexican Jim, a good-for-nothing of the mining camp, spends most of his time in the tavern of the little town. On this particular day, having drunk up more than usual, he quarrels with Jack Hardy, a young prospector. Jack, under other circumstances, would have disdainfully ignored Jim's drunken garble, but he felt in none too good a humor, for things were not prospering with him, and his young wife was growing homesick for the east. Hence Jack's temper was on tap and he made Jim the laughing-stock of the town by giving him a walloping. Jim vows to get even: but how? He carries off Jack's wife and leaves a derisive note for Jack, and another at the saloon, to the effect that the joke is turned. Jim has forcibly taken Jack's wife as far as an old deserted well-box in the hills, when Jack, who started after them, comes up and opens fire. Jim has the advantage for he is sheltered by the well-box, and furthermore. Jack is careful for fear of hitting his wife. This warfare does not last long because of an outbreak among the young Indian braves, who have started out to avenge the death of one of their tribe at the hands of a party of drunken cutthroats, so Jack and Jim form a truce to fight the common enemy.
- DirectorD.W. GriffithStarsMary PickfordCharles Hill MailesKate BruceA stern father rules his little family by what he thinks to be the Bible's precepts, but it is simply the influence of his own narrow mind, he forgetting entirely his own youth. Hence when his boy suggests going to a barn dance, he flies into a rage and commands that the boy remain at home. The boy, however, becomes rebellious and goes, and for this act of disobedience the father drives him from the house and forces the rest of the family to swear never to mention his name again. A short time later they move to a new neighborhood, and the boy's sister meets and marries the village blacksmith. The old father has often regretted his harshness to the boy, but his stubborn nature prevents his admitting it. The sister, though, realizes his feelings and writes to her brother, who begs to come home. This almost causes trouble of another nature, for the blacksmith, who knew nothing of the brother, saw his wife in the apparent stranger's arms, and suspicious, was about to leave without asking an explanation.

- This is a Biblical drama performed 3317 years B.C., a picture of the destruction of the world by a flood. The Lord, observing the wickedness of the world, decides to destroy it. He instructs Noah to build an ark, or boat, in which her and his three sons, his wife and their wives take refuge. He is also told to take into the ark two of each of all living creatures. Noah does as he is told; the rain descends upon the earth, covering it with water, and the people are destroyed, but Noah, his sons and their families are saved. After forty days of inundation the water subsides. Noah sends out a dove from the ark; it returns with an olive branch in its mouth. After a short period the ark rests on Mount Ararat; Noah releases all the inmates from the ark; he and his sons and their wives build an altar unto the Lord, make sacrifice and offer up prayer and thanksgiving for their deliverance. The Lord sets a rainbow in the sky as a promise that he will never destroy the world again with a deluge.

Joe hears of this, and, his mind inflamed by liquor, he sends a message to the new sweetheart that he will shoot him on sight.
