The Timber Queen

The Timber Queen is a 1922 American action silent film serial directed by Fred Jackman.

Cluxton's confidant, "Bull" Joyce (Leo Willis) tells him that Ruth is spending a lot of time with Don Mackay.

Cluxton "accidentally" throws a piece of lumber onto a rail track which releases the box car into an uncontrollable descent, rushing down the hillside with Ruth helplessly on top of it.

He saves her in the nick of time, swinging from a rope attached to a tree and grabbing her as the boxcar dives off the track and into a creek.

Thanking him for saving her life, Ruth and Don talk of their future together, oblivious they are standing in the path of an oncoming train.

The serial consisted of 15 two reel episodes: Filming of The Timber Queen took place in and around Truckee, California from October 3, 1921 – February 27, 1922.
