Frank writes a letter asking his brother Bob to come north; as Bob sets off he encounters Bart Murray, a bully, and a fight ensues. Bob is killed by one of Bart's blows. The news is heartrending to Frank. He arrives at the roadhouse and the first one he encounters is the man he is looking for. Not knowing his man, he allows him to get away from him but is informed by Kate Shepard and her father of Bart's identity. Bart meets a messenger and asks him for a lift. The messenger allows him to take a position on the sled behind him. Frank meets Kate and together they come to the top of the hill. Frank sees in the distance Bart getting on the sled and the killing of the messenger. Bart makes away with the money package. Frank tells Kate to return to camp and warns the men; in the meantime he will take the trail of the murderer. Frank wounds Bart, causing him to drop his gun. He draws his sled alongside of Bart's and then ensues a battle. Frank is the victor and causes Bart to kill himself by his own weapon. Frank secures the stolen money and sinks on the sled exhausted. He is later picked up by the miners, who took the trail after being notified by Kate. He is carried in the house and placed in a bunk, and under Kate's care he finally recovers from his injury and is rewarded by winning Kate for his wife.
