The Boss of Lumber Camp Number Four (1912)
James Warner is much chagrined at his son Willis' accumulation of bad habits and disinclination to work. He puts him to work as timekeeper in one of his winter logging camps. Bob Foster, a college man, takes a kindly interest in Willis and tries in vain to keep him out of mischief. Willis' sister, Florence, thinking to cheer him up in his exile, decides to visit him in camp. Here she meets Bob Foster and a mutual attachment is soon evident. Left to his own devices Willis continues his drinking and gambling. One day being a particular heavy loser, he resorts to cheating and is caught. The men are furious and bent on giving him a coat of tar and feathers, but Bob manages to get him out of their clutches and hold them at bay while Willis makes his escape. Willis rushes to his cabin where he tells Florence of his danger. There is little time for action, for the men, having thrust Bob aside, are making their way to the cabin, bent on revenge. Bob, however, manages to arrive ahead of them and taking his stand in front of the cabin holds them off. Inside the cabin, Florence hides Willis in the loft and slipping into men's clothes makes her escape through the back window. Her plan of leading the men from Willis' hiding place is successful, for as soon as they catch sight of her, they give chase thinking she is Willis. Bob enters the cabin and learning from Willis that it is really Florence the men are chasing starts out to bead her off. Florence has made her way to the hill road where by the aid of skis she is rapidly leaving the men behind when she is confronted by Bob, who catches her. The men, coming up, realize that they have been outwitted and that Willis is beyond reach and make the best of the situation. Florence and Bob soon come to the conclusion that they love each other and with her father's sanction there is no obstacle to their ultimate happiness.
