The young mountaineer therefore takes it as a personal insult when the Game Warden arrives and posts a notice in a public place. Heck tears down the notice and further demonstrates his contempt by disregarding the regulations and hunting as he sees fit. His conduct does not escape the attention of the officer who arrests the young man and conducts him to jail. Seeing that he has no defense, Heck pays his fine and sets forth to wreak vengeance on the Game Warden. Heck's sweetheart, Alice, attempts to dissuade him and meeting with no success, she goes out to warn the officer. She is just in time to assist the Game Warden when he meets with an accident in the mountains, breaking his leg, and assists him to her cabin. The cabin catches fire and all escape, save the Game Warden. Heck returns from his unsuccessful mission, meets the distracted family and is told of the officer's peril. The mountaineer's finer instinct asserts itself and running into the burning building, he drags the Game Warden to safety. Heck eventually realizes that the Game Warden makes a better friend than an enemy and he develops a wholesome respect for the law. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
