Plot

As described in a film magazine, [4] Yvonne Desmarest, an attractive young society leader from Montreal, is annoyed by the attentions of Monsieur Redoux. She is named "the other woman" by the stern young judge Duroacher following the shooting of Redoux by his jealous wife. Branded a social outcast, Yvonne determines to seek refuge and takes her maid to a cabin in the north woods which formerly was a hunting camp of her father's. There they meet the trapper Emile, who becomes their protector. She has numerous adventures with other strange fugitives. The Judge, once he realizes the injustice he has done to Yvonne, goes north, gets wounded, ignored, rebuffed, and then finally loved by the young woman who once had sworn to hate him.
