Kid Lacy, gambler, arrives in town with Hazel, his wife. The rough Swede, for the first time, experiences a strange feeling upon coming in contact with the soft ways of the woman. Lacy himself is a New Yorker, who has run away with a successful musical comedy star. Lacy has tired of the little woman. And she, in her turn, realizing her mistake, decides to leave him. She does so, and is defended by the Swede, who protects her against the insults of a crowd of lumberjacks in a big fight. She shows her thanks and appreciation. The Swede is astonished and bewildered to find the first person who has trusted and depended upon his strength. He takes her into his saloon and offers her its shelter. Hazel awakens next morning before the Swede and leaves. Larson, awakening, finds that all he has left to remind him of the woman is a little handkerchief. Now come lean days for the Swede, who has ruled so brutally and made so many enemies. The loggers boycott his place. Lacy visits him, showing him a newspaper account of Hazel, wherein her past is bared and a dismal present as a broken-down singer at a cheap roof garden in the city, is revealed. There is a terrific fight following this; the gambler is killed by a crippled water-boy. Larson escapes, determined to find the woman of his dreams. Arriving in the city, he locates the foul resort just as Hazel is singing. When argument fails to move her, he carries her off in true caveman style, eluding his pursuers. As they halt in their flight, the woman realizes the love of the Swede and gives herself over to his keeping. Then back to the hills and the forests and happiness which neither had known before.
