A very young William Wyler directed this two-reel "Northwestern" starring tight-lipped Edmund Cobb as Field, a Northwest Mounted police officer assigned to catch a gang of murderous thugs. Unbeknownst to Field, the gang is lead by one Jackson Rasker (Norbert Myles), who has befriended Dumont (Howard Davies), the father of Field's girlfriend Helene (Elsa Benham). Rasker lures Dumont into an ambush but pretends to be a victim himself. Grateful for Rasker's "help," Dumont, with his dying breath, begs Helene to marry the scoundrel. Happily, Fields is on to the gang and the villain is unmasked.
