Being of the same nationality Yorksen is moved to do what he can for Jensen and accordingly sends him with a letter to Camp No. 1 of the lumber company. Jensen arrives and obtains a position from the foreman, who installs him and his wife in one of the vacant log cabins. The Big Swede, as he comes to be called by the men, strikes a jarring note when he refuses to loaf along with the others and drink with them. His little wife strains every nerve to make the rough cabin comfortable for her big husband, who leaves early in the morning and returns late at night, the only real hard working man in the camp. Their evenings are spent with Swede Larson, one of the lumbermen, who gives them instruction in the language of their new country. In this way Jensen is enabled to overcome the great difficulty experienced upon his first starting to work. Jones, camp foreman, is much given to the red liquor and at sight of Jensen's little wife is filled with unholy desires. More than once he tries to force his attentions upon her, but she succeeds in repelling him. Finally, he becomes so strenuous that she tells her husband, who promptly responds by seeking out Jones and delivering him a punch upon the jaw, thus winning his eternal hatred. Jones tries many plans to discredit Jensen and even sends Yorksen in San Bernardino a letter charging Jensen with drunkenness and idleness, the two very things of which he is the least guilty. Yorksen, not believing this charge against his countryman, decides to investigate and arranges for a tour of inspection of the company's camps. Fearing Yorksen's visit may unearth the truth, Jones sees he must get Jensen out of the way. By his careful arrangement, a tree falls on Jensen severely injuring him and rendering him unconscious for several days. Jones takes this opportunity to again force his unwelcome attentions upon Hilda, Jensen's wife, and a terrific struggle ensues. Jensen gradually recovers consciousness. Jones is about to overpower the little woman when Yorksen arrives. Jensen, drawing a revolver, wings Jones, who flees into the woods at the sight of his superior. All comes out right and Jensen and his wife learn the joyful news that the Big Swede will be appointed foreman of Camp No. 1. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
