Synopsis

Kadiak MacLean, an Alaskan miner, strikes gold, sells his mine for a million dollars, and sets out with his daughter, Junie, for New York. En route, they encounter two confidence men--The Colonel and Robert, his son--who, noticing Kadiak's bankroll, ingratiate themselves. In New York they are met by Alan Burkett, the engineer who appraised their mine; and Skeemo, Junie's pet bear, creates a riot in the hotel lobby. Junie discards her outlandish clothes and blossoms in Fifth Avenue fashions, attracting the attentions of Robert. Meanwhile, Kadiak, having professed a marvelous interest in the subway, is being offered a subway station, with its nickle-turnstile privileges, "at a bargain" by The Colonel, but Kadiak refuses to believe that the trains run under the river. Robert tries to get fresh with Juneau, but she knocks him out before Burkett arrives. All ends happily.
