TUCK
A savage crook in jail for robbery with murder

HIS GIRL
Anna, a reformatory girl, runaway from bad home, dominated by her fierce longing for a love which is now only a bitter memory

THE STORY
Anna is told that two hundred dollars will ensure Tuck's parole. She commits murder to get it, then takes to the road with the half-breed Indian who has helped with the crime, and is timidly in love with her. She has no regard for the half-breed, but uses him cruelly to protect herself, following a path of deception and cunning until her final disillusionment.

Tuck's Girl is a remarkable story of the lengths to which a woman will go when a rememembered love is all that she lives for
