Timber (1942)

Leo Carillo and Andy Devine are the supervisors in a lumber camp where frequent accidents are threatening their government lumber contract. Dan Dailey, an old friend, shows up to sign on. Several thugs have infiltrated the camp and are making things worse. Edmund MacDonald an undercover FBI agent, and his sister, Marjorie Lord, show up and sign on. Naturally, Dailey and Lord immediately get sweet on each other.

The saboteurs use a mirror that is placed across the road the log trucks are taking, causing them to swerve and crash. MacDonald crashes and he is killed. The team continues to try to find what is happening. Finally, in an exciting scene, Daily climbs aboard a moving log truck because he has figured out how the sabotage is being done, and makes Carillo crash through one of the mirrors.

According to Wikipedia, Marjorie Lord is still living, in her 90's. We first ran across her in Sherlock Holmes in Washington, in which MacDonald was also featured as a U. S. agent who assisted Holmes.
