Conceit (1921)

William Crombie, a wealthy man of weak character, becomes lost in the wilderness on a hunting trip and is sheltered by a rough woodsman (Bowles) who lives with a pretty girl named Jeanette. Crombie becomes infatuated with her but is afraid to fight the woodsman for her, and she views him with contempt. Returning home, Crombie finds his neglected wife involved in an affair and decides to make a man of himself; after developing himself physically, he thrashes his wife's lover. He then seeks the woodsman to accept his challenge, but finding him near death, he pays for his medical care. Then, seeing that Jeanette really loves Bowles, he paves their way to a happy future. Returning to his hunting lodge, Crombie is surprised to find his wife awaiting his return.
