Jess of the Mountain Country (1914)

Jack Gibbons, disappointed in love, decides to go to the camp of his friend, "Shorty" Grandon, to live down his feelings. Not far from camp lives Jess, whose father has died and left her with nothing except the small cabin in which she lives. While riding, Jack meets with an accident and is found by Jess, with whom he falls desperately in love. An engagement takes place after Jack has rescued Jess from her burning home and taken her safely from a raging forest fire. Jack's sister Fay, in response to a wire, visits the camp to meet her new sister. At first she dislikes her ragged appearance, but is soon convinced of the sterling qualities of the noble girl. A visit to Jack's home is planned, to show the future member of the family. She is met with snubs, but lives down her pride and is finally taken into the bosom of the family. A dance is given at which Jack pays his attentions to his first love. Jess, heartbroken, escapes in the night and returns to her mountain country. Hearing the news, "Shorty," with his fast automobile, dashes his friend to the home of his love, where a reconciliation takes place and the new daughter is received with open arms.
