'Blue Blazes' Rawden is a drama about lumberjack country. This film
illustrates the work of Jack Hoxie, a star of Silent Hall of Fame.
A tough lumberjack is challenged by a saloon owner and kills him, winning
the property and the former owner's girlfriend. Later the killed man's mother
arrives and the new boss has to confront his demons as he is forced to invent
false stories.
In this film Jack Hoxie still goes by the name Hart Hoxie, which he would
change the following year, 1919, to become one of the most famous luminaries of
Westerns.
