Synopsis
A lumber camp foreman, known as Tornado, encounters Ruth, his former sweetheart, and Ross Travers, whom Tornado thought to be his best friend. He learns that Ross tricked Ruth into marrying him with the story of Tornado's death in the war and that their marriage is an unhappy one for Ruth. Threatened with his just deserts if he should further mistreat Ruth, Ross leaves with his wife on a train, which is tossed from a bridge by a tornado. The hero arrives in time to rescue Ruth from the swirling water, but his efforts to save Ross are in vain.
