As described in a film magazine review,[4] Bruce Thornton, Government Forest Ranger, while patrolling in his airplane is forced down by hostile timbermen. He finds Ruth Melier hiding in the woods from her husband Horgan, and says that she is suspected in the killing of her stepfather. After a series of confrontations, through Bruce's efforts Horgan is convicted of the murder. Bruce arrests some timber thieves and wins the affections of Ruth.
