This 5 reel Dustin Farnum action vehicle opened as half of a double bill and provided fans at the time some predictable melodrama in the form of a conflict between the good brother the mill foreman played by the star, and his drunken brother played by George Fisher, and a bit too of romance (the rival brothers in love with the same girl, the daughter of a doctor, she is played by Winifred Kingston.)
The bad brother isn't just a warning for the evils of drink (Prohibition was in effect when this was made) but is also the kind of agitator politicians were on their guard about after WWII, he stirs up the workers to smash the sawmill, riot over conditions, and burn down the camp, which is summarized in one intertitle as the "crew turning Bolshevik."
But then that mob suddenly turns around and tries to lynch the brother who was stirring them up, in a far fetched conclusion.
