Four tales from director D.W. Griffith show how intolerance and hatred have affected mankind through the ages. In the first tale a young girl, the Dear One and her father are forced to move to the city after he loses his job at a local mill. The Dear One faces a hard life after her husband is falsely convicted. In the second tale, the Pharisees ignore Jesus Christ's message of love and protection and refuse to help him. In the third tale, a young Huguenot couple, Brown Eye and Prosper Latour, prepare for their wedding in 1572 Paris unaware of the plans to eliminate the Protestant sect. Finally, the last story looks at a young mountain girl of ancient Babylon in 539 B.C. who falls in love.—garykmcd
