As described in a film magazine review,[2] two-fisted lumberjack Blaze Burke is made boss of Jerry Flint's logging camp and proceeds to eliminate an opposition gang of huskies led by Red McLaughlin. Double-crossed by Milton Symmons, he takes the latter's prospective bride Alice Childers to a lonely cabin. Trailed by McLaughlin, they fight with McLaughlin falling over a cliff to his death.
