Show detail Hide detail

When impoverished Nanette Roland refuses to marry Bucky McDougall until she is convinced that her long-absent fiancé, Raoul Challoner, is dead, Bucky obtains false evidence of Challoner's death and Nanette yields to his wishes. At their wedding ceremony, Raoul appears and is about to take Nanette away, when Bucky attacks him and, in the ensuing battle, Raoul accidentally kills a man and is arrested. That night, Nanette helps him escape and, after a hasty wedding, they flee into the wilderness. Corporal Michael O'Connor of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police is given the assignment of capturing him, and three years later, the Mountie, aided by Bucky, discovers Raoul's cabin in the woods. Just as he arrests the fugitive, a forest fire breaks out, trapping Nanette, Raoul and their baby in the flames. O'Connor, injured by a fallen tree, is rescued by Raoul and the four reach safety, but Bucky perishes in the fire. O'Connor, feeling a debt of gratitude, agrees to testify to Raoul's death. <91mn 16s>
