This film, based on the popular novel by Larry Evans, pits brute force against high finance. Railroad engineer Steve O'Mara (Jack Sherrill) has grown up around the lumber camps and finds he has to battle, both in love and business, against Archie Wickersham (Leo Gordon). The girl in the triangle is Barbara Allison (respected stage and screen star Alice Brady, whose father was the head of the film's releasing studio, World). The catch is that Barbara can't stand the sight of fisticuffs, and Wickersham keeps sending henchmen to beat up O'Mara. But in the final battle, involving yet another Wickersham hireling, Barrigan (George Kline), O'Mara -- and his might -- prove victorious over the villain's underhanded tactics.
