He falls in love with Kate Brown, the village school teacher, but overhears her address a stranger in apparently endearing fashion and, broken-hearted, follows the wanderlust and goes to Athabasca Landing. There Clem makes the acquaintance of Roy, the fellow he saw talking to Kate, but does not recognize him. The two wanderers get work in the blacksmith's shop under Lorraine, the camp boss and bully. Roy and Clem save "Old Kentuck" from the boss's wrath and in return he gives them the only thing he has, a hunch of stock certificates in a supposedly useless oil company. Once again Roy has a run-in with the boss when the latter tries to force old Muskeg Jake's daughter into a marriage with him. The old man refuses and Lorraine kills him, for which brutal act Roy gives the bully a thrashing which nearly kills him. Fleeing from a threatened lynching, Lorraine falls over a precipice in the mountains into Devil's Swamp and perishes in its awful depths. The oil stock held by Clem suddenly takes a rise when a huge gusher is found and he and Roy find themselves rich men. Roy sends for his sister, and to Clem's amazement and delight, she proves to be Kate Brown, his former sweetheart. The conversation incident is satisfactorily explained and Clem gives Kate a bear hug, while Roy goes straight to Babette, Old Jake's daughter, proposes and is accepted. The Wanderers have found the end of the trail. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
