A Homespun Tragedy Filming Locations

Although deeply in love with his wife, Dorothy, Mr. Thomson's jealousy is aroused by her attentions to his son. Dorothy herself is unconscious of this since she is only trying to help her stepson. Things gradually go from bad to worse until one morning at breakfast Jack, the stepson, shows too plainly the effects of the "night before." Thomson's temper gets the better of him and he orders Jack out of the house. Jack, having no better place to go, finds his way to the tavern, where he indulged in his own pleasures. He loses in cards, and in his half-intoxicated state gets mixed up in a brawl, which results in his shooting the owner of the tavern. Overcome with terror, he flees to his stepmother, and begs her to help him. Having no money of her own, it is necessary for her to steal it from her husband, which she unwillingly does, Thomson discovers her, accuses her, in his anger, of duplicity, and of being in love with his son. She says nothing. Thomson packs his grip and prepares to leave. About the same time Jack has been overtaken and mortally wounded by the posse, which has been searching for him. Thomson comes upon him and Jack confesses all, begging his father to forgive him. Thomson, seeing everything now, and realizing how unjust he has been to his wife, returns and begs her forgiveness, which is readily given.
