French Canadian trapper Victor Raoul returns to the trading post at St. Ignace to find a rival for the affections of Yvonne, his business partner's daughter, in the Marquis Courtière, Parisian representative of the fur company. Raoul quarrels with Fontaine over the visitor's business dealings and his attentions to Yvonne. When Fontaine is later attacked and robbed, Victor is framed by the agent and almost lynched, but he is saved by a statement from Yvonne and the arrival of the Mounted Police.—AFI
