The Clouded Name (1919)

A stranger is tainted by the suspicion of illegitimacy because he insists on using only the name "Bill." The young man finds work at a logging camp and wins the respect of the other men, along with the esteem some of their ill-treated wives. Edith Barrett, the daughter of one of the camp owners, shows interest in Bill. However, jealous Clyde Van Allen, the son of the other camp owner, convinces Edith that Bill wronged a woman in the camp, and she becomes engaged to Clyde. Even after Bill rescues Edith from death in a snowstorm, she goes ahead with the marriage. Bateese, the camp cook, finally reveals that Bill is the son of his mother and the elder Van Allen, who kept the marriage a secret. Julie, a dance hall girl, shoots Clyde for breaking their engagement, then turns the gun herself, leaving Edith free to marry Bill.
