Defying the factor, Trent falls in love with the factor's daughter Virginia (Bellamy) and finds his affection reciprocated. They plan to keep Trent there until the first snowfall and then send him out upon the long trail without any food or rifle, a custom said to be followed by agents of the Company. As described in a film magazine, Ned Trent (Holt), a free trader who has successfully opposed the iron rule of the Hudson's Bay Company factor Galen Albret (Berry), is captured and brought to the trading post.
