Rose of Nome Synopsis
Rose Donnay flees from a life of abuse from her drunken, brutal husband Tim. Accompanying her is Jack Hilton, who--unknown to Rose--shoots Tim after stealing his money. They venture to Nome where Hilton opens a dance hall in which Rose functions as the main attraction. Soon Rose discovers Hilton's infidelity and leaves him. Meanwhile, Anatole Norss falls in love with the disillusioned Rose. When Bill Carnon, a member of the Canadian mounted police, appears on the trail of Donnay's killer, terror-stricken Hilton rushes to Rose's cabin, shoots the Mountie, and forces Rose to accompany him by kidnapping the child whom she had adopted. Anatole follows with his faithful sled-dog Patches, overtakes Hilton, and kills him, thus freeing Rose to marry her rescuer.

When his fiancée commits suicide after being used by an American artist, a Japanese art dealer seeks to get vengeance by seducing the artist's wife.
