Synopsis

Twenty years after mounted policeman John Howland's wife Jeanne deserted him and their infant son Robert, he meets Blake, the man who took her away. Seeking revenge, he has him arrested on a trumped-up murder charge, and then Blake dies while trying to escape. Soon after, John dies accidentally, but Robert blames Blake's sons Oscar, Jack and David, and vows revenge. As they prepare to fight a duel, Robert and David are interrupted by a young woman who asks them to help her and her mother, who are lost in the snow. They bring the women to shelter and then, aided by Oscar and Jack, protect them from a band of drunken trappers. During the fighting, a bond springs up betwen Robert and the Blake boys, and so afterward, they decide to end their quarrel. Finally, Robert discovers that the old woman whom he helped rescue is really his mother.
