Crooked Washington politicians travel to Alaska to steal gold mines from unsuspecting miners. Some of them, however, decide to fight back, with the help of one of their sisters and a saloon hall girl. Ironically, this silent film has too much dialogue: endless scenes of back room bargains, sinister plans, crooked card games and proclamations of love, I really could not keep track of exactly who was in love, or were pretending to be in love or who were somehow related. Finally, towards the end, there is some action: a mining operation is dynamited and there is a long fight that more closely resembles a wrestling match. Good luck making it that far.
