That is definitely better Forrest. You could even get more specific if you wanted. Instead of White-collar man you could say Banker or Stockbroker in order to give more description to the reader.
Hope that helped, good luck with this!
Thank you for you kind words. I have updated it to "After finding a powerful ring, a white-collar man must keep the magical relic from a greedy other dimensional man in order to save the world."
Since so much needs to be said in a logline, it's important to know what to cut and what to keep.
Fore-instance, I would cut "After deciding to take his dog for a walk in the forest," Since going on a walk doesn't sound important to the story.
I would also cut "he finds himself with a wooden box," because the ring's important, not what material the box is made of.
-After finding a powerful ring-
Next you should give us a glimpse of the main character, You simply refer to him as "He"
How about, -A gruff woodsman-
Next you should do the same for the Antagonist. You simply refer to him as "Someone Else"
How about, -A greedy Wizard-
Now you should tell us what the hero needs to "Do"
-He must protect the ring in order to save the world-
Now let's try to put this together, maybe make a few small changes and see what comes up.
------
"After finding a powerful ring, a gruff woodsman must keep the magical relic from a greedy wizard in order to save the world."

Your logline can be different of course, it might not be a 'Gruff Woodsman' but a 'Lonely Baker' but hopefully you see how I put this together.
I have, good guy, his goal or what he needs to do, who or what is standing in his way and what the stakes are.
Hope this helped. Good luck with this!
