Arriving at the trading post, Dane discovers that Peter has been murdered.

Dane becomes an object of the same torture when he tries to help the wrongfully accused man.
They both escape, and Dane gets into a terrific fight with a pack of wolves.
Estelle follows the group in a canoe, pursued by Cameron McDonald ( Frank Campeau ),
her uncle, who is the real murderer of Peter Dane.
McDonald dies after a thrilling chase over a waterfall,
and Dane and Estelle escape to civilization.
