As described in a film magazine review,[3] Steve Bradley, a dance hall proprietor in the Canadian Northwest, is in league with opium smugglers Jean Le Fere and Wang. Steve is engaged to Grace Alderson, a singer in his resort. Roland St. Clair, a North-West Mounted Police detective, goes on the smugglers' trail. Grace vamps him and they fall in love. In the finale, after many wild adventures, the smugglers are captured across the border in the United States when federal officers raid Wang's Chinatown den. Grace turns out to be in the employ of the police and marries St. Clair.
