Produced by Bosworth/London,[2] it was an adaptation of the 1913 novel The Valley of the Moon by Jack London[3] and based upon a scenario by Hettie Gray Baker. PlotWhen boxer Billy Roberts (Conway) marries laundress Saxon (Stedman),[1] he tries to please his spouse by leaving his former profession behind and becoming a teamster driving trucks. However, when their wages are cut, the union calls for a strike.[3] The film is sympathetic toward the strikers, with scenes showing police attacking the teamsters with clubs and patrol wagons being driven over fallen men.[2] The former boxer is attacked and beaten by company scabs, lands in jail following a brawl, and starts drinking. The desperate couple decide to move to the country and start a new life on a farm. With money being tight, he enters a fight for a $300 prize. In the end he wins, and the couple depart to live at their "Valley of the Moon".[3] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Citation | first1 = Larry | last1 = Langman | title = American Film Cycles: the Silent Era | publisher = Greenwood Publishing Group | series = Bibliographies and Indexes in the Performing Arts | volume = 22 | page = 103 | year = 1998 | isbn = 0313306575 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ltcNWzVEaEUC&pg=PA103 | postscript= .}} [1][2][3]2. ^1 2 {{Citation | first1 = Greg | last1 = Merritt | title = Celluloid Mavericks: The History of American Independent Film | publisher = Basic Books | page = 11 | year = 2000 | isbn = 1560252324 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=V1uLVtpdH4AC&pg=PA11 | postscript= .}} 3. ^1 2 {{Citation | first1 = Hal | last1 = Erickson | title = Valley of the Moon (1914) | work = The New York Times | year = 2010 | url = http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/115394/Valley-of-the-Moon/overview | postscript= .}} }} External links
