Her husband, disheartened, leaves for the far away north. Six months later he finds himself in the uncivilized regions of the snow-covered mountain trails of the great north country. In the meantime, his wife has had time to repent her foolishness and now that she is to become a mother, longs for her husband's society. She decides to search for him. While she is traveling on dogsleds, clasping the child to her breast, he is lunging deeper and deeper into the wilds of the forests. In making his way down a deep descent he loses his footing and falls heavily to the bottom, breaking his leg. Clad in heavy furs, his wife, with her little boy is carried on the dogsled, piloted by the faithful guide "Caribou Bill," arrives at the trappers' hut where she is told of her husband having passed that way a few hours before; the rough but tender-hearted men induce her to leave her baby with them, if she must go in further search of her "man." She kisses the baby good-bye and continues on her way, encountering the dangers of the spring thaws, until she strikes freshly made tracks, which inspire her with renewed hope and vigor. The dogs scent the footprints and it is not long before they reach the injured man, just in time to carry him safely back to camp, where he is revived and when sufficiently restored to health, is presented with his little son, whom he tenderly clasps to his breast and affectionately embraces his wife, who tells him that life without his love would not be worth living and she will continue to follow him even to "The ends of the earth."
