Logger Jim Hadley (Ladd) and his lumberjack crew are looking for new forest to cut. They locate a prime prospect outside the town of Deep Wells. The residents of Deep Wells led by Laura Riley (Crain) are opposed to the felling of the trees, believing that losing them would cause mudslides during the heavy rains. Conflict between the town's residents and the loggers is inevitable.
Alana Ladd, Alan's daughter, is featured in as Frankie Avalon's character's love interest. The film also contains musical numbers by Avalon including his "Gee Whiz Whillikins Golly Gee," performed with an electric guitar.
The film was mostly shot on location in and around Williams, Arizona.
