The Pagan

“Hail a New Novarro! Entirely different from any of his past triumphs, but a romantic role to match his greatest.”

Henry, the pagan son of a white father and native mother, has inherited land and a store, but he prefers the simple life. When he falls in love with a native girl, her guardian, who is trying to bring her up as a 'proper' Christian, but who also lusts after her himself, plots to keep them apart.
