Synopsis

In 1900, unscrupulous timber baron Jim Fallon plans to take advantage of a new law and make millions off California redwood. Much of the land he hopes to grab has been homesteaded by a Quaker colony, who try to persuade him to spare the giant sequoias...but these are the very trees he wants most. Expert at manipulating others, Fallon finds that other sharks are at his own heels, and forms an unlikely alliance.

    Strictly typical lumberjack story equipped with fistfights, macho talk, and lots of lumber industry stock footage. (In fact, while watching a previous black and white Warner Bros. short from the forties, I noticed that not only was the same lumber footage beeing used, but also the same footage of Kirk Douglas jumping from the hillside onto the train, leading me to ponder whether WB filmed this expensive footage in black and white and also filmed it in color just on the chance they would need such footage in a future color film???). The plot concerns a claim jumping lumber baron (Douglas) who's opposed by a christian cult who believes God loves the redwood trees (where could they possibly have gotten that idea?). This movie can be called mildly entertaining, and that would be saying a lot for it.
