The Dance at Aleck Fontaine's
Director: Henry Oyen
Year: 1915
Plot: Angue Guyot, a big, strong and good-natured son of the north woods, meets Adele Fontaine at a dance. He dances with her, and unconsciously laughs in the face of "Bad" Bovee, her fiancé. She invites Angue to a dance at her home, and he accepts. Bovee swears revenge, and when Angue goes on an inspection trip through the woods a few days later, he follows, and shoots him. Angue is only slightly wounded by the bullet, but Bovee thinks he has killed him. There is a superstition in the north that "the soul of a strong man slain by a weaker one will arise and wreak vengeance on the slayer." The night of Adele's dance, Angus appears, and Bovee, thinking it is his ghost, runs into the woods and leaps over a cliff to his death.—Moving Picture World synopsis
