As described in a film magazine, Dibec (Malatesta), a whiskey smuggler who trades liquor to the Indians for blankets and furs, is being pursued by the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Dubec stops at the post where Mrs. Delisle, wife of Sergeant Delisle, is alone with her daughter Nonette and her baby sister Julie. Dubec kills Mrs. Delisle and abducts Nonette. Twelve years later, Julie (Compson) is celebrating her 16th birthday. The men of the Royal Mounted attend this function, and while the dinner is in progress, Sergeant MacNair arrives.

The post is located at Chino Landing, and Sergeant Delisle has been unable to curb the lawless element brought by the gold rush. After twelve years Dubec has returned from the gold camp and is accompanied by Nonette.

But when Delisle's life is endangered by the lawless element and Julie is kidnapped by Dubec, Nonette reveals her secret.
