A real life drama enacted in the Yukon region where the rigors of battle for existence reduced it's human characters to it's primitive. The girl's perilous trip to the frozen north to save a life will grip you tight....
Therese, whose lover, Clancy Marr, had her given a pelt, was wearing it with a two-fold pride. Yellowstone Dan, an outlaw, cast envious eyes upon it that day. Just as he was in the act of seizing it, there was a report, a puff of smoke and a thud. In the confusion little "Fawn Afraid," the Indian girl, slipped out of the saloon. When Sergeant Jack Daniels of the R.M.P. arrived, Clancy Marr, who had picked up the gun which lay beside the body, was led away in custody. Therese returned in dismay to her cabin. But little "Fawn Afraid" followed her and declared that she, who had every reason to hate Yellowstone Dan. had fired the fatal shot. Therese lost no time in conveying the news to headquarters. She had hardly returned from this errand when Clancy Marr entered her cabin. He had escaped from his captor whom he imagined to be his rival, and left him at the bottom of the ravine with a fractured thigh. Little Therese's eyes flashed scorn at her lover. She turned about and fled from his presence without further words. All night long she plodded through the woods, half guessing at the trail for the snow was falling fast. In the morning she came where the wounded sergeant lay. Through her tireless efforts the troopers were notified and the sergeant is brought back to her cabin. There it is learned that Yellowstone Dan was an outlaw and a reward offered for his body dead or alive. "Fawn Afraid" collects the reward and contritely leaves it on Therese's table in compensation for the trouble she caused. Therese nurses the wounded man back to health. Clancy learns from his sweetheart a wholesome lesson in humanity and is cured of his groundless jealousy.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
