The action is laid in the Canadian Northwest, with Ken playing the part of a Koval Northwest Mounted Policeman, sent to. a new and lawless region to maintain law and order. The story, it is said, lias an unusual twist for plots of this kind. The cast includes such prominent players in support of Ken, as Gladys McConnell, feminine lead, Ed. Brady, J. P.
