Synopsis

Society girl Dorcas Remalie, to fulfill the dying request of her father, goes to live in the northwoods home of her Uncle John, a sinister and dictatorial lumber baron whose household is managed by the forbidding Miss Labo. While the uncle is away, Miss Labo tries to poison Dorcas, and Dorcas seeks safety with Jevons, a young man who is fighting her uncle for land rights. Learning that Jevons is in captivity and danger, Dorcas assumes his place and leads his lumbermen to a fight with Remalie's men. She is forced to dynamite a dam, thus creating a torrent that floods a dry streambed. Learning that Jevons is trapped in the flood's path, she rescues him before he reaches the falls. The uncle repents, and Jevons and Dorcas become engaged.
