It is decided that Jacques is to act as guide to members of the Canadian police, who are on the trail of diamond smugglers. Meanwhile, Jeanne, who is now a wide awake young woman, runs off with her dog to meet Hugh at the railroad station. The dog runs ahead and while in the woods is captured by the smugglers, who hide the stolen diamonds in the dog's collar. After meeting Hugh, Jeanne and Hugh enter a canoe which glides gracefully along down the lake as a panorama of picturesque views is reproduced on the screen. On leaving the canoe, they take a stroll through the woods, and run across the smugglers, who overpower Hugh, but Jeanne succeeds in making her escape. During the night, Jeanne stealthily crawls into the camp where Hugh is sleeping. She cuts the ropes with which Hugh has been firmly bound and Jeanne's dog gets loose from the tree, and follows them out of the camp without rousing the smugglers. While resting on some rocks in the woods, Jeanne secures the diamonds from the dog's collar and puts them in her pocket. In attempting to descend from the rocks, Hugh has had a fall, spraining his ankle, and sustaining other painful injuries. Thus the young couple seek refuge in a log-wood cabin from which Jeanne dispatches her dog with a note calling for help. The dog meets Jacques and the mounted policemen who read the message. Meanwhile, the smugglers, on missing their captive and the dog, rush to the cabin and surround it. A desperate right ensues, in which Hugh and Jeanne return their gun fire until the smugglers break in and overpower them. The mounted policemen arrive in the nick of time. Some of the smugglers are shot dead and the others are captured, the diamonds are recovered, and the young couple fall into each other's arms with wedding bells instead of musket shots ringing in their ears.
