Plot

Deputy sheriff Steve Walsh encounters a trio of young people in Washington between Shelton and Aberdeen in a rural Mason County forest and is taken hostage when the girl, Bobbie, produces a gun. Bobbie later tries to seduce Walsh, who is twice her age and resists. Her companion Roy tries to push Walsh off a cliff but plummets to his own death instead.

When a search party comes to Walsh's rescue, Frank, one of his captors, accuses the Walsh of improper relations with Bobbie, who is a minor. Before the matter can be resolved, Frank's carelessly tossed cigarette sets the forest ablaze.

Walsh leads an evacuation of the townspeople and herds them aboard a train that leads across a bridge to safety. Frank, trying to flee, falls from the trestle and is killed. Steve tells Bobbie that she is special to him and professes his love by kissing her.
