Plot: Cape Town professor David Lurie blatantly refuses to defend himself for an affair with a colored student whom he gave a passing grade for an exam she didn't even attend. Dismissed, he moves to his daughter Lucy's farm, which she runs under most disadvantaged terms, favoring the black locals. Yet rowdies, unprovoked, violently rob and abuse them both. Lucy refuses to fight back, unlike David, who is surprised by his own altruistic potential.

Plot: Lumberjack Joe MacKinley ('Preston Foster (I)' (qv)) inherits a valuable tract of forest-land which is coveted by a large lumber company. He and his new bride, Helen ('Kay Buckley' (qv)), start a logging operation but quickly run into trouble because of a series of sabotage-events, staged to look like accidents by their foreman, Gus Williams ('William Bishop (I)' (qv)), who is working for the lumber-combine. Joe is nearly broke and about to sell out cheaply when an old friend, Bill Shaw ('Wayne Morris (I)' (qv)), comes to his rescue as a partner. To force the partners to sell, William starts a forest fire.
