About ten years later, Jenny has grown up to be a beautiful but equally heartless and manipulative young woman. Her father, a drunken widower, whips Jenny after learning of her flirtation with a sailor. She secretly schemes to wed the richest man in town, the much older timber baron Isaiah Poster, while his son Ephraim is away to college at Cambridge.Poster is unkind to his mildmannered son upon Ephraims return. He is unaware that the boy and Jenny were once sweethearts and that Jenny is again flirting with Ephraim behind her husbands back. Poster is more concerned about the lawlessness in town, lumberjacks drunkenly pillaging the town, manhandling the women and killing the judge, confirming Posters longheld belief that Bangor must organize a police force. ........
