The story

Mary Willard, who has taken control of her father's interests after his death, has become so exasperated at the unscrupulous business practices of her competitor Harvey Judson that she has him kidnapped to teach him a lesson and protect her shareholders against him. When Harvey wakes up in the middle of a forest, he initially believes that robbery was the motive until he discovers that no money was taken. He tries to bribe his guide to take him to the nearest settlement but to no avail, and, after two fistfights with a Frenchman who is also in love with Mary, eventually comes up with a scheme which leads to his being rescued by his friends.
