Heartbroken, he pursues the eloping couple, but his chase is short: the auto in which his wife and her companion are riding plunges over a cliff and they are killed. Returning to his home, Rawlings gazes upon his infant son and his mind, effected by the shock, feels overwhelming hatred towards all womankind. He dreams that he takes his son out to the wilderness and teaches him to be a savage and to hate women. A young girl traveling with a party of tourists strays into the forest and Rawlings makes her a drudge. The son, primitive by training, yet feels a great regard for her, which Rawlings abused with hatred, and in consequence treats her with greatest severity. Finally she induces the boy to aid her to escape. Rawlings pursues them and in a fight with his son, when he is about to kill him, he suddenly awakens and finds that the dream in which he played so important a part, was only a dream, but it has a good effect, for it teaches him that his wife might have been false, but the majority of women are true.
