Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein

White villains once again agitate a friendly tribe of Indians in this average Columbia serial starring nonentity Robert Stevens (aka Robert Kellard. Stevens, who was awarded billing below leading lady Nell O'Day, played Sgt. MacLane of the Royal Canadian mounties, assigned to quell the uprising. As it turns out, a nasty renegade, Mort Ransome (Kenneth MacDonald), is behind the attacks, conspiring with evil medicine man Black Bear (Nick Thompson) to stir up the heretofore friendly tribe for his own gain. Between chapter one, "The Totem Talks" and the concluding (and self-explanatory) "The Mountie Gets His Man," MacLane, heroine Diana and the mounties survive Indian attacks, forest fires, explosions and sundry other perils, all courtesy of Columbia producer Larry Darmour.
