Roads of Destiny (1921)

David and Lewis Marsh are brothers. Lewis betrays Rose Merritt, then refuses to marry her when she follows him home. He is in love with Ann Hardy; his brother David also loves her and she loves him. Lewis pleads with David not to take Ann from him. While David is undecided what to do he falls asleep and dreams three different dreams, in which the characters in his own domestic tragedy act out the same finish to each episode. The first episode takes place in Alaska, where Ann is the companion of a gambling-house keeper and is killed by him for falling honestly in love with a young inventor who loves another woman. The second episode is in the East among a number of society people. The third episode introduces the betrayed woman as a Mexican girl who loves honestly but cannot escape her fate. At the finish David wakes up and decided to marry Ann himself.
