The Rosary (1922)
After the death of his uncle, who founded the fishing village of Sandy Bay, Kenwood Wright is left with only a small patch of marshland while his nephew, Bruce Wilton, inherits the majority of the estate. To make matters worse, Wright is infuriated by the engagement of Vera Mather, whom he loves, to Bruce. He joins forces with Donald MacTavish, a pirate captain, and seduces Bruce's sister, Alice, in his plot for revenge. Vera becomes involved in the scandal while trying to save Alice and Bruce takes back the rosary he gave her as a symbol of his love. During an explosion at the cannery constructed by Wright on his marshlands, Bruce barely escapes and when Father Kelly accuses Wright of conspiracy, a posse sets out to capture him during a storm. Wright seeks refuge in the church and when a pistol is drawn against Father Kelly, Bruce's mother is fatally shot. Wright manages to escape but falls to his death while crossing an old bridge.
