- Billy McVeigh, a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, runs amuck another person of this service undeserving of its uniform, named Nome. The latter becomes his sworn enemy and is alert for a chance to "get even." A mysterious murder is committed in the forest far to the north of the barracks, and Scottie Deane is reported to have committed same. Billy and Nome are selected to make the arrest, and the instructions are that Billy take the trail in one direction and Nome in another, the two converging later on. So they leave headquarters, the two enemies on their long, lonely and perilous mission. Some time later, as Billy battles his way through a snowstorm, he meets a young woman urging along a dog team almost exhausted. On the sled is a long box like a rude coffin. His inquiries elicit from her the story that she is taking the body of her dead brother to the settlement. The warmhearted Billy, deeply moved, decides to accompany her, and they camp for the night. He sets up a tent for her and one for himself. During the night she slips into his tent, takes his rifle, goes to the apparent coffin, opens it, and liberates a live man, her husband, Scottie Deane, the man wanted. Scottie, however, is not a criminal, as he slew the other man in self-defense. Scottie's wife, Isobel, in extenuation, pins a note to Billy's tent explaining this, asking forgiveness for her seeming ingratitude and asking him not to follow them for her sake. Nome and another constable, Carter, happen across Billy's camp the next morning. Billy seeing his enemy, instinctively reaches for his gun, and then realizes that it is gone. Nome grows suspicious, and begins to question Billy concerning the two tents. Billy then tells the latter that a half-breed spent the night with him, but Nome, still suspicious, investigates the second tent and confronts Billy with some strands of golden hair from Isobel's head. Billy takes it from him, and makes as if to throw it in the fire, but really keeps it as a sacred souvenir. Nome and Carter laugh at his inability to explain away the hair, and tell Billy that after they have rested they intend to trail his "half-breed." They then retire to the second tent. Billy now realize that the only way to save Isobel, with whom he is deeply smitten, is to rush on ahead and arrest Scottie himself. He appropriates the sleeping policeman's gun and sets out on his snowshoes to overtake the fugitives. He is a skilled trailer, and he soon overtakes Scottie and Isobel in their camp and overpowers the former. Isobel turns furiously on Billy. At this moment Nome and Carter appear. Nome denounces Billy, coarsely accuses the girl most unjustly, and a stand-off fight ensues, in which Carter and Nome are driven off. Billy then explains to Isobel why he arrested Scottie, liberates his prisoner and bids them good-bye. When Nome's report reaches headquarters, Billy is dismissed from service and he becomes a hunter in the solitudes. Scottie and his wife return to the wilds. He goes to a distant place to get their little daughter, who was placed in charge of a French family when they made their original flight. While he is there, the house is attacked by Indians, and all the whites are on the verge of being wiped out when Billy comes to the rescue. He finds Scottie dying, but Billy recognizes him as he enters the room, and he places his little girl (Isobel) into Billy's keeping, begging him to restore her to her mother (of that dear name) in the far forest home. Billy regards this trust as sacred, and they make the long trip to find the mother down with the smallpox, and deserted even by her Indian servants. He gets help from a missionary, and Billy having obeyed the request of the dying man, resumes his wanderings. Some months later he receives a letter from the missionary, telling him that the mother and child were saved. Learning that little Isobel is in Montreal, and seized with a longing to see her again, he goes to the big city, finds the little girl and meets the mother once again. Eventually both the Isobels, mother and daughter, become the members of his own family.

- This story deals with the lives of two Scotch lads, Hector MacDonald and Lareu MacDougal. The call for volunteers for the Boer War had reached their out-of-the-way home in Scotland and they determined to answer the call. In the first scene we see the Scotch lads breaking the news of their determination to their sweethearts. Two weeks later they bid good-bye to their fair lassies aboard the warship that is to bear them on their long journey to South Africa, it is then that the colonel of the regiment in which they have enlisted grants MacDonald and MacDougal a great favor, little thinking how soon and under what strange circumstances the lads will repay him for his kindness. Six months later we find the colonel and his staff inspecting the enemy's earthworks through their field glasses. They are accompanied by troopers among whom are our friends, MacDougal and MacDonald. As the colonel stands apart with glasses raised, there conies the ominous "spit" of a Mauser bullet and the colonel's arm drops useless to his side. With a yell, a company of Boers rise from ambush and dash onward toward the helpless man, intending to make him prisoner. With full realization of the situation, the two Scottish lads, full of enthusiasm, spring to their commander's aid and immediately open fire on the Boers and then, with the rapidity born of intense excitement, they carry the colonel over the brow of the hill, beyond the view of and much to the surprise of the advancing enemy. And that surprise is accelerated by the sudden and unexpected appearance of a half regiment of English cavalry, who drive them from the field. In recognition of the heroic efforts of our two Highlanders, their colonel requests and is granted a commission for them both, in token of appreciation of the work they have done in braving the enemy's fire. Our scene changes. We are on the mountain known as "Spion Kop." Three companies of Gordon Highlanders have been left to hold the side of Steep Hill, while the artillery is planting batteries above their heads. Cronje has outwitted the English commanders and made a flank movement and our little band of Highlanders find themselves isolated, retreat cut off and under heavy fire. Cronje, seeing their helpless position, sends a messenger to the officer in command demanding surrender. Hector MacDonald, though only a lieutenant, finds that he and MacDougal are the only officers left alive. He reads the demand to the Gordon troopers, and to a man they express the wish to die rather than suffer disgrace. Surely help will come. Then Hector writes the Highlanders' defiance: "To h-1 with you, the Gordons never surrender." The Boers open fire again, and the last hero of that little band sells his life for the flag he loves. Without patriotism, manhood lies dormant. Even Cronje is touched by such bravery, and be himself sends forward to Lord Roberts the last written words of the brave Scotch lads who preferred death rather than bring disgrace on their famous regiment. Our scene shifts to the cottage home in Scotland where we first met the lads. Their sweethearts' mother returns from the post office and the girls eagerly asks: "Mother, any news?" She sadly shakes her head. The youngest girl, with that hope that springs eternal in the human breast, places a light in the window, and so our story ends with this little group of fond hearts waiting for the loved ones who will never return.
- During WWII Corporal Francis Seibert of Defiance, Ohio was stationed in Amarillo, Texas as an Air Force instructor training men to become aircraft mechanics for the B17 and B29 bombers. Being his first time away from home he wrote to his family almost daily. To make his letters "more exciting" he began to illustrate the envelopes with cartoons. His mother saved all 610 of these letters and envelopes. This documentary takes the 82-year-old Seibert through a historic journey as he revisits those letters 60 years later. The letters cover topics as diverse as Mother's Day; his first Christmas away from home; first learning of the D-Day invasion; and his impressions of the dropping of the first Atomic Bomb. For a young man of only twenty-one, Corporal Seibert had extraordinary vision of what the future of the Atomic Bomb would mean to the world. In his letter he already saw the full significance of what such a devastating weapon would have on life from then on. He knew that it would very likely turn out to be instrumental in ending the war and saving thousands of lives, but it scared him. Through all these letters the underlying message is how important family is. How we take for granted what we have until it is taken away from us, and how often it takes a tragic situation to express how we really feel. The most rewarding part of making this film was to take this journey with Corporal Seibert. We hope that the audience will feel the same.
