Working as lumberjacks in the Northwest, Billy West (George O'Brien)
and his pal Laramie (Eddie Borden) spy two men stealing furs from a trap,
and they arrive too late to save the trap owner from being shot.
Billy suspects Loup LaTour (Antonio Moreno) and his partner Chick Carson (Harry Cording.)
While Marna Reynolds (Helen Chandler) dreams of dances and pick chiffon dresses,
her father (David Hartford) is being forced to purchase stolen furs from LaTour and Carson,
and LaTour is throwing a few lecherous glances toward Marna.Billy,
in a card game, catches LaTour cheating and also suggests he suspects
him of theft and murder before further violence is stopped by the sheriff.
Billy and Laramie are ambushed and Billy is shot in the shoulder but kills Carson.
Laramie takes Billy to Reynolds trading post where Marna ministers to his would.
LaTour convinces the sheriif that Billy murdered Carson and the sheriff is led on
a dogsledded-chase by Laramie.LaTour returns to the post with intentions
of changing his lecherous glances into lecherous action,
and the weakned Billy struggles with LaTour as Marna races toward the log-jammed river.
While John Wayne had a bit in this film and also worked on props,
he was not given a Props credit as shown by some sources.
If he had been, he would have been the first and only Props worker
given an on-film credit in 1930. He wasn't credited in the Art Department.
