The Wolf
“"Weemen are the deevil, and all of them have black hearts," said MacTavish. Thus, he persecuted the girl who was his daughter. It is one of the dramatic elements in a great picture.”
Synopsis
American surveyor William MacDonald visits an Ojibway village in the Canadian Northwest. He seduces a local half-breed girl named Annette while her fiancé Baptiste and half-brother Jules are away trapping. MacDonald then abandons her. When Annette realizes she is pregnant, she wanders into the forest while delirious and is killed by wolves. Jules and Baptiste seek revenge.
