Produced by Archie Campbell
Two men, one English, the other American, set off with their sleigh and a team of huskies to cross the frozen wastes of Northern Canada. Their destination, Fort Carrus, is still five days away when disaster overtakes them and one man is severely injured. Progress is reduced to a snail's pace and it soon becomes evident that their food supply is insufficient to meet the new circumstances. The agony of their situation is intensified when the injured man confesses to his companion that he is the murderer of the girl they both loved.
