Tired of being exploited by wood buyers, Saul takes a stand and his father chases him away. He goes to work in wood-buyer MacDonald's wood yard, where he gets to know MacDonald's daughter Kate and falls in love with her. After a few years (10 in the film, 2 in the book) he leaves MacDonald (and Kate) and joins the first prospectors in the forest, searching for gold.
