After becoming known as a delightfully greasy villain, Lew Cody gets to play a hero in this adaptation of a James Oliver Curwood story. Since they were children (played by Joseph DePew and Helen Rowland), Raoul Radon (Cody) and Jacqueline Roland (Marguerite Courtot) have been sweethearts. But then Henri Dubois (Sheldon Lewis) comes to their neck of the Northwoods as the lumber camp's new boss. He tries to steal Jacqueline away through deception. Radon becomes convinced that Jacqueline loves Dubois, not him, and wanders off. But then a forest fire breaks out and he saves Dubois only for Jacqueline's sake. After helping put an end to the raging fire, Radon discovers the truth -- that Jacqueline's love for him has never faltered -- and the couple are reunited. As good as Cody is in this picture, he's still upstaged by child actor Russell Griffin in a major supporting role.
