Although the dance troupe of which she is leading lady is successful in South America, Lou urges her husband Jim to seek another environment for the sake of their two-year-old son. When Dan McGrew offers to put Lou on the New York stage and beats Jim in a fight, she runs away with him to Alaska, where she becomes a decoy in the Malamute saloon. Learning that Lou has been duped by her abductor, Jim follows them to the Klondike and kills McGrew. Husband, wife, and child are then reunited.—Pamela Short
