With his son, Alec (Kenneth Thomson), he herds his woolly treasure on scorched hills. Into their baked monotony the son brings his bride, a young dancing girl of quick spirit (Jetta Goudal).

Such a distinction could well be established on a basis like that of the tutorial system as it is found at Harvard.
