This film is set during 1931 in Canada.  Johnson is a trapper who lives in solitude up in the mountain.  He purchases a dog for $200 after seeing it fight during a dog fight.  The dog is close to death and the owner Hasel does not want to sell it.  He goes to Mountie Sergeant Millen to see if there is anything he can do, but he declines.  Then Johnson is accused of murder by the malicious Hasel and taken to prison, even though Millen is not quite sure on the accusation.  Johnson tries to prove his innocence in every way he can.
