Tenderfoot Bruce Corrigan goes to a lumber camp employment office and signs on with thirty other men to work at the Hamilton outfit, despite its reputation as a dangerous place. When they leave the office, James Lester, the supervisor of the rival camp owned by Daniel Carson, offers the men more pay to work for Carson. Only Bruce refuses and punches Lester for his underhanded maneuvering. While walking through the woods to the camp, Bruce meets and flirts with June, the daughter of McRae, who was the deceased John Hamiltons partner. Bruce then goes to the camp, where he overhears a telephone conversation between McRae and Lang, the operations money man, during which it becomes clear that the outfit is going bankrupt. McRae hires Bruce, despite his inexperience, and introduces him to Anderson, who is the foreman. Bruce then meets some of the other men, including Englishman "Kinky" Kincaid, Bart and Red. The next day, Anderson sets Bruce to work without properly training him, and Bruce suffers some cracked ribs when he falls from a tree. When Bruce and Kinky go to the local saloon later that night, Bruce becomes suspicious when he sees Anderson talking with Lester. He is distracted, however, by the mens uproar when the bartender tells them that he cannot accept Hamilton brass in place of money anymore. The men quit, but Bruce challenges them to stick by McRae, and Kinky talks McRae into re-hiring the men Anderson had fired previously out of spite. Soon Bruce and Kinky have the men organized and working hard. Anderson orders Bart and Red, who along with him, Lester and Carson are sabotaging the the Hamilton camp to drive it out of business, to create more accidents. They arrange a costly accident, and Anderson insinuates to McRae that it was Bruces doing. Anderson succeeds in poisoning McRae against Bruce, even though Bruce is at that moment defending McRae to a grumbling co-worker. McRae orders Bruce to leave, and after Bruce leaves, he finagles his way into Lesters confidence with a phony telegram from Carson. He orders the Carson men to cut a huge amount of Hamilton lumber far from the main camp, but his plans are halted when he learns that Lester has arranged for a fire at a Hamilton camp that afternoon. Bruce rushes to June and finds out that McRae is at the site of the fire, which has already started. Bruce then goes to the site, rescues McRae and reveals Andersons treachery. McRae is still despondent, however, for the fire destroyed the trees he needed to fill an important order. Bruce takes the men to the Carson camp, and after a huge brawl, the men take possession of the cut lumber. The logs are floated downstream to their destination, and Bruce admits that he is Hamiltons estranged son. Later that night, Bruce also makes up with June, and the couple kiss to seal their reconciliation.
