Rescued from an Eagle's Nest
An early silent melodrama built on primal peril—a child abducted by an eagle—that trades psychological depth for visceral spectacle and rescue heroics.
A woodsman leaves a hut followed by a woman with their baby. Nearby some men chop down a tree. The baby is left outside the hut, but an eagle flies away with it.
