Photographed in the big timber country, this film is notable for its scenic effects, as well as its laugh provoking qualities. Mary Walkerton is visiting her father, the big lumber king. In the same location is Jack, who is trying outdoors after five years of surveying the Follies. Jack meets Mary and falls in love with her. He learns of a plot to defraud Mary's father. Mary and Jack go in search of Walkerton to tell him about it. Walkerton's option on a valuable piece of timber land has ahr.ost expired and he hastens to the mill to take it up. Hardwood Dick and Slippery Elm abduct him and hurry to the mill with the intention of taking up the option as soon as it expires. Jack pursues them in a flivver. There is a wild and exciting chase. A big tree falls on the flivver, just missing Mary and Jack. He rents a large work horse, and Mary and Jack mount the animal and gallop ofT to the mill. Here they are told that only Mr. Walkerton himself can take up the option. Searching for Walkerton. they chase Hardwood Dick and Slippery Elm all over the grounds. They finally discover Walkerton in a heap of sawdust and bring him to the office just in time to save the property. Jack wins the girl and everything is rosy. A mirthful melodramatic plot. 2 Reels Courtesy of CASS & JOHANSING 6013-5 THE BROKEN LAW Burt Morgan, a cowboy off duty, loses the last dollar of his summer's salary in a gambling game. He wanders onward, arriving in what looks like a peaceful valley somewhere west of the Sierras. His horse stumbles and Burt is hurt. Not far away is the lonely hut of an aged Indian named Cheeko. Burt's dog runs for help and the Indian shoots at it, wounding it in the leg. Cheeko then follows the limping dog and finds Burt. He apologizes for shooting the dog, explaining that he mistook it for an animal belonging to some men who had been molesting him. Cheeko asks Burt to let him nurse the dog back to health, and gives him a bag of gold nuggets in payment for it. Hal Spar, foreman of the Bar B Ranch, conspires with his hireling, Steve Hardy, telling him to force Cheeko to reveal the location of a secret gold mine from which he obtains his nuggets. Hardy attacks Cheeko and Burt comes to the Indian's rescue. While he is absorbed in the ensuing fight he is hit over the head by Hal. They search both men, and find on the Indian a map of his gold mine. Thinking Cheeko dead, the two crooks move his body to the main trail, where they hope it will be found, and that Burt will be blamed. Burt recovers, and continuing on his journey, meets Sally Warde, owner of the Bar B Ranch. She has fallen from her horse. Burt helps her back to her home. Against the protests of her foreman, Sally gives Burt a job on her ranch. Hal goes to warn Steve and the two men muss up the Indian's cabin to make it look as if someone had searched it.
