The Great Divide (1925 film)

The Great Divide is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Reginald Barker and produced and distributed by MGM.

Three rough intoxicated strangers returning from a fiesta see Ruth and led by Dutch (Beery) break in to get her.

In desperation, Ruth picks out one of the other strangers, Stephen Ghent (Tearle), and offers him her life if he will save her from any assault, which he does.

He takes her to his valuable mine, which he has neglected, and he tries through his work and homelife to win her love, but she remains disgusted with him.

Finally, she blurts out the truth of how they met and were married, and her brother a gun intending to shoot Stephen.
