Rough backwoodsman Edgar Jones loves Edna May Sperl, but she has married Ben Hendricks Jr. Jones invades a dance where the bride and groom are celebrating to snarl a bit, then goes and gets drunk. Very drunk. He steals a canoe and disappears for two months, only turning up at a forestry camp in the dead of winter when Hendricks lays ill.
It's one of several shorts that Jones produced and starred in, one of the few series produced in Maine, featuring the rough lumberjacks that people thought of as populating the state. It's mostly a character study.
