Synopsis
"A far-fetched, overdrawn story of two men who try to prove their courage and devotion to the same girl, by getting flowers she has expressed a desire for, from Pinnacle Rock, in Mount Rainier National Park, where the picture was photographed.

Bit of an odd drama here, because I don't know who it was made for. It's about two suitors of a woman. She has said "To prove my love, you must climb this mountain and get me the pretty flowers there!" and they do. The two suitors though, realize they're fighting over the same woman, and one may have to kill the other for that honor. The movie has a surprise ending! The movie is rather curious because it just feels like it was made for Mount Rainer park, where this was filned. We get views of the hotel, the mountains, the glaciers, the paths, etc. So kind of curious. The film itself is pretty…
