Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[4] two men and a woman are snowed in together in a cabin in the Northwoods. One is a city man away for his health, the other a trapper. The young woman is the daughter of a French Canadian whose father had been killed by the North-West Mounted Police. Through the winter a silent bitter struggle develops between the men for the hand of the young woman which ends in the treachery of the city man being exposed and the trapper winning the affections of the young woman after a thrilling forest fire.
