Synopsis
Each of the three men living in a lonely, snowbound cabin in Alaska has come north for his own reasons. Burke Marston seeks forgetfulness through drink, and Hugh MacLaren is searching for gold, but Evan Mears' reason remains a mystery. A weird cry outside leads them to a girl half-buried in the snow who has lost her reason and her memory. The efforts of the three men to help her regain her faculties seem fruitless until Burke tells her the story of the lawyer who years earlier had cheated his mother out of her fortune. The girl then reveals that Mears recently has had her innocent brother sent to prison, and Mears, after fighting with Burke, flees to New York. The others follow and finally capture him. After Mears confesses that the girl's brother is innocent and that he is the lawyer who robbed Burke's mother, he is sent to prison, and the girl and her brother return to Alaska to live with Burke.
