A Mormon Maid

The film follows Dora, a young woman whose family is saved from an Indian attack by a Mormon community on their way to Utah. As they join the wagon train, Dora finds herself caught in a tension between two suitors: a recent convert and a scheming elder who desires her for his harem. The story takes a darker turn when Dora's mother, driven by her disdain for polygamy, takes her own life. This forces Dora to confront her future and the man she loves.

A Mormon Maid is notable for its portrayal of the Mormon experience in the 19th century, and it stands out as one of Mae Murray's few surviving films. The film has been characterized as anti-Mormon propaganda, reflecting the tensions and controversies surrounding the topic of polygamy at the time. Its runtime is 68 minutes, making it a compact yet impactful viewing experience for fans of silent cinema.
