Fresh out of college, American Rod Drew (John Wayne) is asked to assist in the search for missing people in Canada. Accompanied by Wabi (Noah Beery Jr.), his friend from school, Drew travels north, but quickly gets into a confrontation with a gang of French Canadian outlaws. When the bandits abduct the young Felice Newsome (Verna Hillie), it becomes apparent they’re responsible for the other disappearances as well. Luckily, Drew and Wabi are there, determined to find and free the captives.
