Hilarious comic take on Hart's patented Good Bad Man role sees him as a rough tough lumberjack, "Blue Blazes" Rawden -- apparently Hart's cameraman, Joe August, wanted to photograph primary forest, so they set it up that way.
When Hart kills saloon-owner-regular-villain Robert McKim, he inherits not only the saloon and McKim's girlfriend, but a mother who comes over from England to see her long lost boy. Soon everyone is in a conspiracy to not let mother know what a scalawag her son was, but when she announces she wants to take Rawden back to England with her, the girlfriend tries to spill the beans.
Apparently they didn't know what to do with this, so they tacked on an ending and sent it out. The result is a movie that experts call one of Hart's darkest tragedy. I disagree. Next time, guys, try running it through the projector a little faster and using a lighter touch on the keyboard.
