"Misfortune awaits anyone foolhardy enough..."

Storyline

In a lumber camp, superstitions run high as an old Indian curse regarding men who cut down the tall timbers appears to be coming true. Clark and Lois have been staying nearby at a dude ranch, gathering material for a story, which results in Superman being on hand to save the female owner of the lumber camp from certain death. She believes that, rather than an old superstition, there is deliberate sabotage, and Superman agrees with her.
