This is an epic dramatization, in twelve scenes, of life in the Yukon at the end of the 19th century. It is the story of the Gold Rush as lived by a group of freedom-loving French Canadians who dream of wide open spaces and quick fortunes. But these dreams soon clash with reality; the harsh climate of the Yukon, and the treachery and rapacity of men caught in a difficult struggle for survival in a world where the only law is that of each man for himself.
