The Timber Queen Synopsis
A young woman is heir to vast timber lands which the timber trust seeks to secure. She is opposed by a cousin who seeks to prevent her from marrying before she is twenty-one, as under the terms of her father's will he will then inherit the property. In her fight against these odds she is assisted by a lumber foreman who falls in love with her.
From Now On Synopsis
Dave Henderson, an orphan who has become the beneficiary of a rich man's will, falls in with race-track crooks Martin Tydeman and Bokky Sharvan who bilk him out of his $100,000 inheritance. In retaliation, Dave steals the money from Tydeman's safe, but is caught and sentenced to five years in jail. In prison, Dave becomes friendly with Millman, who is about to be released, and reveals the money's hiding place to him, arranging to rendezvous at the end of Dave's term. Once released, Dave is hounded by members of Tydeman's gang as well as the police, who are waiting for him to retrieve his bounty. While taking refuge at the house of Capriano, an old bomb maker, Dave falls in love with the old man's daughter Teresa. However, Capriano sets a trap for Dave, who awakens in a drugged state to find the $100,000 missing. With the help of Millman and Teresa, Dave recovers the money, turns it over to the police and resolves to go straight.
"The Timber Queen" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "From Now On" offers its own unique cult appeal.
