Accompanied by Thunder, the dog who rescued him from the firing line in France, World War veteran Ray Chambers goes to the mountains to recover from his war injuries. There he meets Martha Larned, a lonely mountain girl who lives with her little brother, Dick. Ray discovers that Martha is the sister of his dead buddy, Frank Larned, and he decides to stay and protect her from harassment by Jim Howard and his halfwitted brother, Ez. When Dick is hurt in a fall, Ray goes for a doctor; Ez kills Jim and attacks Martha; and Thunder takes care of Ez. Ray and Martha then get married. (AFI Catalog)
Combining elements from PHI-Stoa and Gosfilmofond, SFFP is painstakingly re-editing and digitally restoring this film to ensure that the final restoration is as faithful as possible to the original release version of the film which appeared before audiences in 1924. On completion of the project, a new 35mm negative will be recorded to polyester film and stored for posterity in the SFFP Collection at the Library of Congress. Digital copies of the film will also be created and will be available for loan.
