...hopelessly dull bout. Last week's fight left the heavyweight situation in some respects even more confused than before, but the major difference between it and its predecessors was that this fight was ably fought to an unbeatable conclusion.

Steve, who has already expressed his devotion to Jo by fighting with a disloyal lumberjack (Barton MacLane), winning the esteem of her foreman (Alan Hale), and driving a supply train through a Russett barricade, finally makes her believe in it by dynamiting the jam while the personnel of both lumber camps enjoy a free-for-all fight on the river bank.
