Description by OLDIES.com:
After a drunken matrimonial bash, when Von Luden gets Mame instead of a promised nubile virgin, he decides to take Mary Lee anyway. His vicious sexual assault on the girl is cut short when Dave busts down the door. The two men slug it out, with Von Luden getting the worst of it. In revenge, the beaten man decides to turn Dave in to the police. The night before the police arrive, the unrepentant Von Luden rapes and murders the virgin daughter of the mining camp's doctor. The discovery of her limp body in the swamps leads to a bloody showdown.
Picture Brides is a grim and gritty jungle melodrama of desperation and debauchery. Phil Rosen, who traced his four-decade film career back to his days with Edison, directed this no-nonsense piece with a stark frankness. Envisioned as a star vehicle for young Dorothy Libaire, it is the silent screen veteran Dorothy Mackaill who carries the film with a spirited, earthy performance.
