Lee Preston, aka Leland Bruce, kills a man in self defense but flees to the redwood country when the law makes it a murder charge. There he meets Lynn O'Malley, the niece of Sandy McTavish who runs the trading post. Lee learns the reason why this is good trapping country is because the timber barons across the lake are ruthlessly cutting the trees and driving the animals across the river. The trappers appeal to him to take a petition to the Governor which would prohibit the timber people from coming to their side of the lake. At first, because he is a wanted man, he refuses but does so later for the sake of the people even though he knows it will lead to his arrest.

Joe Migliore Of all Keaton's walk-ons, and cameos, and appearances in films that are not worthy of the man, this one has to be the strangest. This feature was shot in the Pacific Northwest, and deals with a lumberjack on the run, and a budding romance on the horizon. (All shot in fabulous colour!) While they were shooting the film, they must have realised nobody would care about any of this. Without question, the highlight of the film comes in two disparate sequences dominated by Buster, that may well have been shot after they screened the first cut. What they should have done was release a Keaton short and cut out the hideous feature it was meant to save.
