The Winning of Denise (1914)

A trapper is sent to the city to collect money for his fur company. On his journey back, he is accidentally shot by a young woman, the daughter of another trapper, who mistakes him for a deer. She takes him back to her father's cabin to recover. Initially, the girl's father is truly angry about the situation. The young man saves the life of the older trapper (the father). Through gratitude, the father forms a business partnership with the young man, and the young people fall in love. The film concludes with the young man successfully "winning" Denise and presumably a happy ending.
