Synopsis

Trapper Jacques La Rouge loves Memory Baird, the American daughter of a trading post owner, but because he is a half-breed, his love can only be shown in friendship. While deer hunting with Jacques, Memory gets lost and enters a notorious roadhouse. Owner Jim Blake and the other patrons, thinking she is a dancer, begin to abuse her until fugitive Joseph Clyde Treffery, whom Memory earlier hid from the police, claims she is to be his wife. When Blake forces them to marry immediately, Treffery assures Memory that he will have the marriage annulled later, but after Memory falls in love with American Warren Sherman, Treffery comes to get his wife. After he fights with Memory's father, who dies, Memory finds Treffery at the roadhouse where she dances disguised. Treffery kidnaps her, but Jacques, in a dog sled, chases them. After Treffery is killed by wolves, Memory marries Warren, and Jacques leaves singing to hide his broken heart.
