Show detail Hide detail

Against her father's wishes, Prudence Carrington marries George Ware rather than the Rev. Arthur Dean. When George sees her with Charles he does not realize it is her brother and turns her out with their child Marie, believing her to be unfaithful. Half demented, Prudence hides the baby in a basket in the woods where it is found by the Rev. Dean's dog.~Dean brings up the child and Prudence, suffering memory loss, goes to the Klondike as a nurse. Dean also travels to the Klondike to minister to the gold miners. George, having learned of his wife's innocence, travels to the Klondike to find her but he too loses his memory when he is hit on the head by a lawless character called the Vulture of the Trail.~Now fourteen years old, Marie has also arrived in the Klondike. The Rev. Dean is killed by a stray bullet but the Ware family is reunited after George is hit on the head again (by the same person using the same weapon) and a baby boot in his possession is matched to a baby boot in Marie's possession. <73mn>
