North to Alaska

In 1900, after finding gold while panning in Nome, Alaska, on their claim, brothers George and Billy Pratt and partner "Big" Sam McCord have become rich. Sam plans to travel to Seattle, to purchase mining equipment; George also asks Sam to bring back his fiancée, Jenny Lamont, a French girl whom George has never met, but has corresponded with for three years. Sam is disgusted by marriage, which he considers tantamount to slavery, and cannot understand why George would willingly seek matrimony, but he reluctantly agrees. When Sam finds that she has already married another man, he returns instead with Angel, a dancer originally from France, played by Capucine.
