Long sequences on logging operations: men felling trees with axes and Swedish fiddles (cross-cut saws), steam donkey engines at work, tree trunks being yarded across the landing by spar trees and donkey engines, etc. Sequences on the operations of the J.R. Morgan Logging Company on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Shots of the freighter "J.R. Morgan" (formerly C.N.S.S. Prince Charles) sailing in alongside camp situated on floats. Shots of raft of logs, of a saw powered by a donkey engine sawing logs floating in the water, of a massive raft being prepared. Final sequences on activities at a modern electrically operated saw mill, and at the lumber-loading area. A giant dock-side crane loads stacks of lumber into a freighter while lumber handling machinery moves about busily.
