Dick Rance, a forest ranger, arrests Black Scotty (Lon Chaney) for willfully burning an area of the forest and for hunting without a license, and Scotty swears vengeance on the ranger. That same afternoon, Rance rescues a girl whose canoe was overturned by her date, and discovers that she is Grace Milton, a former fiance of his, who he left when he found her in an amorous embrace with his rival John Harding. Harding, in fact, was the one who tipped over the canoe, and he follows Grace when she goes to Rance's cabin in the woods to thank him for rescuing her, still not realizing that the ranger is her old flame.

Rance is very cold toward Grace when she asks his forgiveness, but Harding still worries that eventually Rance will soften and steal her away. Harding asks Grace to marry him, but she rebuffs his advances, seemingly now interested in reviving her old relationship with Rance. Harding meets with Black Scotty, and the two plot revenge together against their mutual enemy, planning to trap the ranger in a forest fire. Grace writes a letter to Rance, asking him to meet her at Pine Cove, but she pridefully changes her mind about mailing him the note. Harding manages to obtain the letter after she discards it and sends it on to Rance, while he and Black Scotty prepare a trap for the ranger.
