- Nell, a beautiful mountain girl, is a member of the Serviss family, rivals of the neighboring Rutherford family. Nell is engaged to Jim Serviss, who is the head of their clan, but when, by accident, she meets a stranger who has come to stay with the Rutherfords, they become infatuated. The stranger spends much of his time examining and chipping away at rocks, causing an intense curiosity among the mountaineers, who suspect that he is a "revenuer." When Nell learns that the stranger is searching for radium, she shows him a deposit rich in ore located near the Serviss still. On the night of a big dance, the Serviss still is burned by revenue officers and the mountain people are convinced that the stranger is to blame. Nell rushes to the Rutherford cabin to warn the stranger who is revealed to be Rolf Rutherford. When Jim arrives, Nell saves Rolf's life by telling Jim that she will marry the stranger. Soon after Jim leaves, however, Nell goes after him and admits that it is only he who she loves and that she lied to save him from committing murder.—Anonymous
- On Thunder Mountain lived Nell Serviss, a wild flower of surpassing beauty. The Servisses were "at feud" with the Rutherfords, who lived on the other side of the mountain. Jim Serviss, a cool, clear-eyed young mountaineer, was the leader of his clan, and between Jim and Nell Serviss was a sort of mountain betrothal, for Jim loved Nell with all his heart and soul. Tom Serviss, his vicious, worthless brother, also loved Nell and persistently annoyed her with his attentions. One day a handsome stranger from the city, that distant fairland, came into this little and went to live with the Rutherfords. A humorous accident made Nell and the newcomer acquainted. Each day the stranger would wander over the mountains examining the rock and chipping it with a little hammer. His actions puzzled the "moonshining" mountaineers, who suspected him of being a "revenooer." Nell Serviss and the newcomer became close friends and this friendship soon grew into something deeper and stronger. Learning of his search for radium ore Nell showed the stranger a rich deposit near the Serviss "moonshine" still. Shortly afterward, on the night of the dance in the school-house, the still was burned by the revenue officers. The newcomer was suspected and the Servisses started in the morning to "get" him. Nell dashed through the forest to warn her friend, with evil-minded Tom Serviss in pursuit. But her friends the mountains punished Tom in their own fashion and Nell arrived at the Rutherford's cabin in the nick of time. Rutherford then faced Serviss, and in a sacrifice few women have ever been called upon to make little Nell of Thunder Mountain humiliated herself that another might be saved and by so doing triumphed in "The Stronger Love."—Moving Picture World synopsis
