Synopsis
Faith Diggs, who is caring for her invalid father Skipper, meets Mark Leroy, an Alaskan gambler, and he entices her to the Klondike through a fake marriage. She learns the truth about her marriage from Dawson Kate, a dancehall woman, and with her father she flees into the wilderness and becomes stranded without food. Faith encounters wild animals and cares for her now delirious father until Kate's son rescues them. A romance develops between them, and when they find a mine, Mark tries to jump the claim but is repulsed and killed by a fall.
