The Law of the Yukon plot
"A young newspaper man from San Francisco arrives in the Yukon to start a newspaper and conflict ensues. Based on the poem by Robert W. Service."
Morgan Kleath, on the run from an unfaithful wife in San Francisco, heads to the Yukon to start a daily newspaper. Shortly after arriving he meets Goldie Meadows. Upon showing interest in Goldie, Morgan arouses the jealousy of Joe Duke, one of her admirers, and during a fight between the two, Goldie comes to Kleath's rescue. Later, when Duke's associates rob Meadows' safe, a number of clues point to Kleath and he is arrested and charged with the crime.
