North of Nome Synopsis

When Tate Killaly and his daughter, Zelma, cross the river to the trading post of Henri Cocteau, located in a little Alaska town, Zelma is attacked by Quig Lanigan, Cocteau's tool and a man of evil impulses. A stranger steps in and saves her from harm. Zelma later finds the stranger suffering from snow blindness on the trail and takes him home to her cabin, where she nurses him back to health. Zelma and the stranger fall in love, and he tells her that he is a fugitive from justice and victim of injustice. Chitna, Zelma's Indian servant, goes into town for supplies and tells Tate and Cocteau of the stranger's presence. The men, who know there is a $5,000 reward for the stranger, go to the cabin and capture him. Zelma helps him escape, but when she is led to believe that the stranger has killed her father, she turns against him and is instrumental in his recapture. When she finds out that her father is alive, Zelma realizes her mistake and gets her father to help the stranger. Cocteau is killed in a snow-slide, and the stranger, Bruce McLaren, is informed that the real criminal has confessed, making Bruce a free man again.
