In Search of a Hero

Percy Browning, the spineless son of a wealthy man, is thrown out of his eastern college after refusing to enter into a fight that he had instigated. Hoping to make a man out of him, his father sends him and his equally spineless friend out West to a lumber camp he owns. At the camp, where the men follow the rule of survival of the toughest, Percy is tormented by the biggest bully, Big Dan. Percy soon falls in love with Peggy Richmond, the daughter of a rival lumber camp owner. Because Peggy inspires Percy to become more of a man, he eventually proves himself, even to Big Dan, winning Peggy's heart and his father's respect.
