Louvois and his daughter, Joan, run a trading store where Jacques and Baptiste dispose of their furs. Joan is half in love with Jacques, but is puzzled at his frequent trips from the settlement. Billy Gates, a mounted police officer, on the trails of the offenders, makes arrangements to board with Louvois, and Joan immediately transfers her affections to him. Jacques is suspicious of Gates and places a demijohn of whiskey in Billy's bedroom which is later found, and Billy is accused of selling whiskey to the Indians and is returned to Smoky River for trial. He is dishonorably discharged from the service, but determines to run down the real culprits. He sees Jacques and Baptiste packing their canoe with whiskey and furs and captures both Baptiste and Jacques. Jacques escapes from the cell, but is later captured and badly wounded, confesses to the frame-up against Gates, who is later reinstated in his old position on the Northwest Mounted Police.
