Synopsis
Gaspard, a French-Canadian trapper, is betrayed when his sweetheart, Thalie, weds Benson, an adventurer who has previously tricked Gaspard out of a mine claim, and he waits 7 years for revenge. Benson begins to drink when his mine is ruined by a landslide and Thalie is taken ill. Influenced by Gaspard, Pierre forces a fight on Benson, who shoots him, and Gaspard refuses to testify that Benson shot in self-defense. After Benson is imprisoned, Gaspard takes in his child and sends it to the village school. Upon the father's release, Gaspard, fearing to lose the child, captures a half-starved wolf, which he conceals as a trap for Benson. By chance the child arrives first, and Gaspard, after a fight with the wolf, is reconciled with Benson and to the relinquishment of the child.
