The Sins of Her Parent (1916)
Unsatisfied with her forced marriage to Southern aristocrat Arthur Heatherway, Valerie Marchmont leaves her new husband and, after giving her infant daughter to a Virginia family, goes to Alaska to work in a dance hall. Years later, her daughter, Adrian Gardiner, wants to marry Richard Carver. Richard's father, Robert, objects to the marriage because Adrian cannot provide any information about her parents. Acting on a hunch, Richard goes to Alaska to find the mother Adrian never knew, but shortly after finding Valerie, he is shot by saloon owner Jim McNeil. When Adrian and Robert go to Alaska to be with Richard during his recovery, Robert recognizes Valerie as the wife of his old friend Arthur. As a result, he approves of the marriage, but the celebration is cut short when Valerie and Jim kill each other in a fight.
