Plot

As described in a film magazine review, two-fisted lumberjack Blaze Burke is made boss of Jerry Flint's logging camp and proceeds to eliminate an opposition gang of huskies led by Red McLaughlin. Double-crossed by Milton Symmons, he takes the latter's prospective bride Alice Childers to a lonely cabin. Trailed by McLaughlin, they fight with McLaughlin falling over a cliff to his death. Blaze restores Alice to Milton. Subsequently he saves Alice from a forest fire but Milton perishes in it. In the end, Blaze wins the affections of Alice.
