Back to the Woods Synopsis

The story is concerned with a plot to deprive John Walkerton, the lumber king, of his privilege to exercise an option on valuable timber tracts adjoining his property. Jack (Neal Burns) heads a counter-plot to foil the conspirators, his reward for success being the hand of Miss Walkerton (Vera Steadman). Over forest roads in bouncing motor cars, through and around falling trees, out over floating logs flee the plotters pursued by Jack, Miss Walkerton and their friends. There is a real thrill when a falling timber crashes down on an auto conveying Jack and Miss Walkerton, completely wrecking the car and narrowly missing the couple to all appearances. Another highlight is the pursuit over the floating logs with buxom Babe London as a factor in the chase. At the close Jack and his girl, after receiving pa's blessing, are whizzed up into space atop a load of planks being hoisted for shipment.
