What happens

Tall Timber is a 1926 Australian silent film about a rich man who flees the city and works in a timber mill. It is considered a lost film. In 1937, Cinesound Productions, the company that followed Australasian Films under the Greater Union banner, made a feature film partly set against the timber industry called Tall Timbers. It was directed by Ken G. Hall and had no connection to the 1926 Tall Timber. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
