Trivia
Critically ill, lead actor Ronald Byram left the shoot during the first two weeks and was replaced by Wheeler Oakman. It is probable that it is Byram in the close-ups in the sledge in the final chase scenes. Roy Laidlaw is frequently but erroneously referred to as Ralph Laidlaw in the trade press of the time. Edna Shipman did not act in this film as is sometimes claimed. The film opened at the Strand Theater in Owosso, Michigan, where it played for three days. Canadian Photoplays Ltd. was a Calgary-based company incorporated 7 February 1919 under the laws of Alberta. Shipman-Curwood Company was later called Curwood-Carver Productions Inc. See more »Quotes

Contrived story surrounds a woman who is being blackmailed by a ship's captain who has killed her father and threatens to kills her ailing husband. She's saved by a dog. This is lifted a level above most of its ilk by the quality of its dark, harsh vision: from the first, we're in an arctic canada wher ruthlessness is the rule, as a dog's owner is killed in a bar for no reason (except that he's a "chinaman") much to the amusement of the bar's denizens. Good atmosphere.
