Plot Summary:Asa Hatch, multi-millionaire, receives a telegram from Anson Slade, supervisor of a natural forest in Wyoming, accepting a bribe Hatch has offered in order to secure Slade's services in stealing timber land from the government. The plan is to locate large holdings as homesteads, prior to the addition of adjoining public lands to the national forest. Hatch goes to Bisonville to meet Slade. By mistake he introduces himself to Troublesome McWhorter, a forest ranger in uniform, and shows McWhorter Slade's telegram. McWhorter's suspicions against the superior officer and Hatch are aroused. Meantime, Slade attempts to make love to the Bisonville Postmistress, Anne Keith, and McWhorter knocks him down. Slade and Hatch start out to survey false agricultural claims, and are followed by McWhorter. They go to Slade's cabin, after completing the surveys, and make out a list of \"Dummy\" entries, which must be filed at the land office prior to the setting aside of the land as part of the national forest. This list is put in an envelope and sealed and left on a table. McWhorter comes in, addresses a similar envelope on the typewriter, stamps it, and leaves it in place of the original document. Slade mails McWhorter's substitute, thinking it is the original list. A week later he and Hatch, who have been carousing, hear that the list has not arrived. They accuse the postmistress of holding back the envelope. They catch her on the trail and take her to their cabin, where they attempt to force a confession from her. On the way she breaks off twigs and drops her handkerchief and glove. McWhorter had taught her that breaking twigs is signal for help. He rides along the trail, finds twigs broken, picks up her handkerchief and glove and follows to the cabin, where he arrives in time to rescue Anne. He shows Slade a telegram from Washington, announcing that the public lands have been added to the reserve a week ahead of time on account of McWhorter's exposure of contemplated fraud. The telegram also says McWhorter will get the supervisor's place. Ranger and Anne on their wedding trip is the final scene.
