Frank Howard, another childhood friend, meets trouble in ltowan's saloon, and tells the owner that he is betrothed to the same girl, Rose Morris. Hayward is not a oosirable character, but Jimmy agrees to assist him monetarily on condition that he returns to his mine. Rose comes to Alaska, and in a mountain hut, where she and Jimmy are compelled to shelter from a storm, they recognise each other. Hayward comes to meet them, and an exciting fight ensues.
