Lucky Corrigan

'Lucky' Corrigan opposes the strong-arm tactics that Carson Lumber is using to lure loggers away from The Hamilton Company. He gets himself hired by Hamilton where he learns from foreman Mack McCrae that Carson is plotting to drive Hamilton into bankruptcy. 'Lucky' falls in love with Mack's beautiful daughter, Joan, and joins forces with her to see to it that Hamilton delivers its contracts on time. When they succeed, Carson steps up his campaign of sabotage and orders his thugs to set fire to several million acres of timber. Knocked down but not out, 'Lucky' hatches a desperate scheme to meet the contracts and wreak vengeance on the rats who set the fires.
