Synopsis

After Cheyenne Harry crosses the Canadian border just ahead of the sheriff and a posse pursuing him for cattle rustling, he calmly rolls a cigarette and faces them victoriously. He becomes friendly with an Indian chief and his daughter, and after drinking and drumming on whiskey barrels with the chief, Harry fights the girl's lover, Black Michael, a half-breed whiskey runner who refuses to marry her. After Michael tells the Canadian Mounted Police of Harry's whereabouts, Harry escapes and comes across Kate McDougal wading in a river. Attracted to her, he meets her at her father's store, and then fights Michael and three other whiskey runners over her, helped only by a fighting priest. After Harry is accused of killing the chief, Michael abducts Kate and takes her to the island to which Harry has fled. Harry fights Michael, who confesses the killing and then falls from a cliff. Kate and Harry then plan to marry.
