Plot Summary:Night hangs over the river. The River Goddess beckons and a tortured soul. James Courtney, heeds the call of the silent black waters. Another tortured soul, Daniel Emmett, approaches him. Courtney tells his companion that he is a poor artist and that he loved a girl who seemed to return his love, but her parents objected to his suit. As his story is visualized, we see the girl telling him that she must obey her parents. He folds her in a fond embrace and she agrees to elope with him. We next see Courtney waiting for the girl at the trusting place. A newspaper flutters to his feet. He picks it up and runs across a paragraph stating that Jane Haven has eloped with her chauffeur. Life holds nothing more for Courtney and he seeks surcease of sorrow in the river. Dan tells his story. He had wealth and position, but loved the green woods better than society. In the visualization of the story we see him out hunting. Meanwhile, Jane Haven, who is driving with her mother in a car through the forest road, spies a deer. She jumps out of the car and runs towards it, just as Dan raises his gun to take aim. The shot hits the girl instead of the deer and both Dan and her mother run toward her as she falls to the ground. They carry her to Dan's hunting lodge, where she is tenderly cared for. Dan believes he has found his ideal and the girl promises to marry him. After her recovery he receives a letter stating that she has gone with the man she really loves. Life has no further interest for Dan, and he, too, seeks the river. Courtney now takes a picture out of his pocket and hands it to Dan. Dan stares at it in wonder, and produces another picture from his own pocket. The pictures are identical. Presently they are approached by two policemen, who announce that they are under arrest. In the police station they are charged with being suspicious characters. A car stands in front of the station, which is recognized by Courtney. The officer tells him that it is Jane Haven's car and adds: \"You are both under suspicion of being the chauffeur who ran away with her.\" Both Courtney and Emmett hand their cards to the officer at the desk, who orders them to be released. The two men look at each other as they reach the sidewalk, and Courtney says: \"So the girl ran away with the chauffeur. It is not worthwhile sacrificing one's life to the River Goddess for a girl like that. Let's drown our sorrows at the shrine of Bacchus.\"
