Child Bride

Miss Carol (Diana Durrell) is an idealistic teacher in a remote one-room schoolhouse. Her campaign raises the ire of some local men, led by Jake Bolby (Warner Richmond) who one night drag her into the woods and tie her to a tree. When her father dies, Bolby takes advantage of the opportunity to blackmail her mother into letting him marry the girl, threatening that otherwise he will see her hanged for murder.
