Desc: The Human Bloodhound: Bill, Tom and Tickey Childs, two brothers and a young sister, are living on a large tract of timberland to improve it. The land is the property of the younger brother, Tom, who takes his business away from the hands of a scheming lawyer, who designs to defraud him of his property. The lawyer has a friend noted as a grafter. The grafter's daughter, Kate, overhears her father accused of being a notorious grafter. She is horror stricken. The father is threatened with prison for his nefarious dealings. Failing to secure money to cover his misdeeds, Kate is persuaded by him and the scheming lawyer to go to the woods and induce Tom and his younger sister to come to the city. She does not realize that her father and the lawyer mean to trick Tom. Brother Bill does not like the idea of their going to the big city, but Kate promises to shield and protect the little sister. Time passes on and not a word is heard from either side. The grafter sees that all the letters are intercepted. Bill goes to the big city only to find that his brother Tom is leading the pace that kills, gambling and drinking. He finds his little sister in a cabaret. Tom is kept drinking at the big city club by the grafter's friends. He is invited to become one of its members. He thinks he is signing a membership certificate, but they change the papers and he signs away his entire timber land. Kate overhears her father's conversation with the scheming lawyer, when he tells him what he has done and that he will get his share of the money. She realizes that she is the cause of Tom signing away his property and immediately starts to assist him in recovering it. She confesses to Tom the unintentional wrongs she has done him, which caused the loss of his timberland. Tom is very much infatuated with Kate and asks her to marry him. She denounces the grafters and begs Tom to take her to the log cabin, as his wife. Kate, the sister, and both brothers arrive at the log cabin and are immediately pursued by the scheming lawyer and his followers, who claim the timberland. Tom drives them off. During the night, forest fires start, and in trying to fight the flames, Tom falls into a blazing bear pit. Bill jumps in to save him and they both have to struggle for their lives. The forest fires are creeping all over the land and here you see one of the greatest blazing fires ever conceived in a moving picture. Kate and the little sister save them. When they arrive at the cabin they are thrown off their land by the scheming lawyer. Bill calls the lawyer a human wolf and swears he will be the human bloodhound to track him to his last lair. He succeeds in securing considerable evidence against the lawyer. The lawyer feeling safe in his possession of the property decides to go to the city. Bill tracks him to the hill-top. They fight over the rocks and cliff. As Bill is about to throw the lawyer over the cliff, the little sister arrives just in time to prevent him from committing murder. Bill drags the lawyer to the courthouse and there, with the evidence he has gathered, succeeds in convicting the lawyer, denounces the rest of the grafters and adjusts all wrongs.
