Four Feathers (1915) is a silent film adaptation of A. E. W. Mason's 1902 novel The Four Feathers.
Harry Faversham (played by John Clements) is a British army officer who refuses to avenge the death of a legendary general who was murdered some ten years ago. He is awarded three feathers by his officers. When his fiancée fails to defend his stance, he plucks a feather from her fan.
He proves his courage by rescuing his comrades in potentially dangerous and life-threatening situations at enemy lines in North Africa. Harry later returns each of the feathers as proof of his redemption and courage.
