Plot[edit]

As described in a film magazine reviews,^[2] Rambo, the father of Marie, is killed in a fight with a half-breed and with Belleau. The latter rides away. He is met by Fitzgerald, constable of the Northwest Mounted Police. When Fitzgerald hears of the killing, he sends out McKenna, sergeant of the force, whose face is familiar, it seems to Fitzgerald. The latter believes McKenna is the man who killed Rambo and pursues him after McKenna has started out to find Belleau. Marie hears of McKenna’s peril and starts in pursuit. When McKenna reaches the Belleau home, he finds Belleau wounded. He recognizes him as his long lost brother. He takes the blame of the killing upon himself. Marie reaches them and, in her love for him, pleads that he might not confess the crime. The half-breed learns that the guilt has been put on Marie’s lover. He then confesses the crime himself.
