The story of a group of roughneck lumberjacks who try to put something over on a red-headed youngster and live to regret it.
"Joe Kent, just graduated from college, is called home from a trip abroad to take over his deceased father's lumber company. He contracts to fell and deliver a winter's cutting of timber to a sawmill. There's a strict deadline for delivery, and if he doesn't make it, the buyer will not only refuse to pay but sue for damages. Should that happen, loans and a mortgage will come due, with no extensions, and the company will go under."--Buddies in the Saddle Blog
