In 19th-century Alaska, there is a gold fever, and it brings with it violence and chaos. A new judge is appointed and the miners count on him to stop claim jumping and all sorts of dishonesty. In this context, a love story goes on between a cabaret croupier and a miner; his affections are coveted also by the judge's daughter. On the other hand, the croupier is coveted by the gold commissioner.
The plot is fairly conventional, but the screenplay is well written, and the film is superbly directed. There is a larger than usual number of minor characters whose contributon to the story is well handled.
