Channing of the Northwest Synopsis
Channing, who lives the life of a leisured gentleman in London, falls in love with Cicily Varden, a dancer in the Gaiety Revue, but she breaks off the engagement upon learning he is to be disinherited. Channing leaves for Canada and joins the Canadian Northwest Mounted; there he meets Jes Driscoll, who lives with her father, Tom, and her adopted brother, Jim Franey. Sport McCool, owner of the local dance hall, is known to engage in smuggling hooch across the border, and Channing is detailed to investigate his activities--in which Jim is involved. Inflamed with jealousy and taunted by McCool's insinuations, Jim determines to kill Channing, but he hesitates at an opportune moment and shoots McCool. Jim dies from a wound, and Channing and Jes are united.
