The kindly factor Hector
Mac Collins takes in Rose after she has lost her father and was
rescued from the river by Mountie Michael Devlin. |
 |
Devlin is enamored with Rose. |
 |
. . . yet Rose has become
enamored with visiting railroad surveyor Bruce Norton. |
 |
Norton finally catches up with
the man who lured his sister away from her husband and left her.
They fight, and Norton accidentally shoots him. Norton is now
considered a murderer and is being hunted by the Mounties. |
 |
Rose doesn't know why, but
the visiting Dr. Cusick is assisting her in finding Norton and
helping him escape capture. |
 |
Surprisingly, Rose finds
Norton hiding in Mac Collins' basement. |
 |
Rose thinks she is caught returning
Norton to the basement through the open trap door in the main
room. To her relief, Devlin confesses he left the trap door open
when he checked the basement just a few minutes before. |
 |
While Dr. Cusick distracts
the search party, Rose sneaks Norton out of the basement and
to a cabin where a canoe awaits three miles away. |
 |
While the other men in the
search party head into the woods where Dr. Cusick claims to have
seen Norton, an old man tells Devlin he saw a canoe loaded with
food at the cabin three miles away. |
 |
Devlin captures Norton, and
Rose begs for his freedom. |
