The Rider of the King Log

John Kavanagh, a Maine lumberman, clashes with Stephen Marthorn, owner of a spruce-logging company, when Marthorn orders his men to make their drive before Cavanagh can get his logs down the river. His daughter, Clare, is disliked by Cora Marthorn, but Cora's brother, Kenneth, refuses to join the fight against the lumberman. Marthorn finds aid in Donald Kezar, a former friend of Kavanagh's who turned against him when refused his daughter's hand. Kavanagh has a heart attack and prepares for his death, instructing his daughter to make the drive. Clare, dressed in white, and the townsfolk accompany his body to the church. Learning that Kenneth is on her side, she succeeds in getting the logs to the mill with his aid, and they are happily married.
