Timbertown Log

It is the "Roaring Twenties" and Seattle is growing from a timber town into a city. Thomas Kelly is a young Irishman and ex-logger determined to stop the timber industry from destroying rivers and waterways. J.C. Robertson is a brutal timber executive who has built his company on the backs of former loggers and small timber companies. He is not above using hired muscle to keep the likes of Thomas Kelly from raising public outcry over his logging practices. While Thomas battles by circulating petitions for a referendum to curb logging, he meets a young girl whose widowed mother was brutally raped by Robertson—kindling the fiery wrath of Thomas and his father onto the powerful timber chief. As the Kelly family helps rebuild the lives of the two women, Thomas and his father deliver justice to the front door of Robertson and his timber empire.
