The film is a sequel to "Man's Genesis" (1912), also directed by D. W. Griffith.
Weakhands (Robert Harron) and Lilywhite (Mae Marsh) raise a happy family when disaster strikes. A woman-less tribe led by Bruteforce (Wilfred Lucas) assaults them in pursuit of wives. The invaders are initially repelled, but subsequently become victorious and enslave all women. After his muscles fail, Weakhands again must use his brain. Will he be able to produce another more powerful weapon and turn the tide?
