Thomas De Quincey, the head of a large lumber company, considers his son Jack to be a good-for-nothing wastreI. To make a man out of him, he sends Jack to investigate reports of strange goings-on at his lumber camp up north. There Jack discovers that the loggers are running an eIaborate bootlegging operation. Before he can report it to the police, the spring thaw causes an ice flood that engulfs the camp. Now Jack and the crooks must work side-by-side if they are to survive...
Shot at a lumber miIl aIong the Klamath River in Oregon, The Ice FIood is based on a novelette by Johnston McCulley. As The Brute Breaker, it first appeared in the August 10, 1918 edition of AIl-Star WeekIy. UniversaI had previously fiImed it using that name in 1919, with Frank Mayo and Harry Northrup as stars. Johnston McCulIey is today best remembered as the creator of Zorro. Kenneth Harlan got his start with D.W. Griffith in 1916 and throughout the silent era was a top-bilIed Ieading man, pIaying opposite Lillian Gish, Anna Mae Wong and many other famous starlets. Big-budget films like The lce Flood were calIed Universal Jewel Productions in hopes of justifying higher ticket prices. This pIoy actuaIIy proved to discourage audiences, and CarI LaemmIe did away with the practice in 1929. |
