Darley (Frank Harvey) has just shot dead Charles Blake (Campbell Copelin), in Jim Thornton’s cabin. Blake had made Claire Darley pregnant, then refused to marry her. Thornton (Frank Leighton) and Joan Burbridge (Shirley Ann Richards) rush to the log cabin to try to stop him, but Darley blows the charges, setting off the chain reaction of falling trees. The trees have been pre-cut, making the forest extremely dangerous. In the ensuing destruction, the wounded Darley is killed by a falling tree, but Jim and his new love Joan survive.
