Plot

As described in a film magazine review,^[2] Percy Browning and Jack Strong are expelled from college, and, to toughen them up, Old Browning sends them to work at his lumber camp. Arriving by train, the two discover that time at the camp is very different from their previous college life. Percy falls in love with Peggy Richmond, whose father is a competitor to the Brownings. The latter's foreman, Big Dan, uses unfair means to block work from the Richmonds. Percy, after being groomed by a pugilist, tackles Big Dan and beats him. After his father arrives, Percy explains everything and they are reconciled. Peggy admits that she loves Percy.
