Synopsis
When young Bill Carmody is suspected of stealing bonds, his irate father throws him out of the house. Bill's fiancée, Ethel Manton, disgusted with his immaturity, breaks their engagement, and in the face of his adversity, Bill decides to go West. En route, he meets lumber baron D. S. Appleton, who offers Bill a job after he saves his life in a train wreck. The rugged life of the lumbercamp transforms Bill into a man, and when he is rescued from a log jam by Jeanne, the Indian maiden, he promises his aid in return. Bill's honorable intentions backfire, however, when Ethel journeys West with her aunt at Appleton's invitation and, seeing Bill again, recognizes the change that has come over him. The couple is almost reconciled when Jeanne demands payment on Bill's debt by defending her against the advances of Buck Moncrossen, the crooked lumber camp boss. Misunderstanding the situation, Ethel suspects Bill of duplicity until a satisfactory explanation reunites the two lovers, and all ends happily as Bill exonerates himself with his father.
