Hank Stamper and his father, Henry, own and operate the family business by cutting and shipping logs in Oregon. The town is furious when they continue working despite the town going broke and the other loggers go on strike ordering the Stampers to stop, however Hank continues to push his family on cutting more trees. Hank's wife wishes he would stop and hopes that they can spend more time together. When Hank's half brother Leland comes to work for them, more trouble starts.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a 1971 drama/adventure focused on labor disputes and family conflict in the logging industry. The identified 'Christmas Elements' (Holiday Release and Wishes) are extremely weak indicators. There is no evidence that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season in any meaningful way."
