While the husband is absent from the camp to obtain provisions, the other man is making love to his wife. She encourages him and submits, weakling that she is. So absorbed are they in each other that they do not notice the return of the husband until after he makes his presence known. Then the two men silently, taking their guns and a shovel, leave the camp. In a sequestered spot they pace off a few feet, and then shoot. The other man is killed, and the husband buries him. Then he returns to the woman for whom he had killed one of God's creatures. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
