Bloodhounds of the North (1913)

In an out-of-the-way spot in the mountains refugees from the United States and Canada, who are wanted for various crimes, have gathered. A man wanted for embezzlement arrives with his daughter Pauline. The embezzler is a natural leader and, to James' chagrin, becomes the leading spirit in the colony. Two members of the Northwest Mounted Police, Lon and Mac, are on the embezzler's trail. The embezzler, without James' knowledge, stations his men and instructs them to fire on the police. Mac is wounded. The embezzler's daughter takes him to her cabin. On one occasion the girl leaves the cabin and confers with her father. Lon follows and learns that her father is the man they are seeking. Believing that he has the girl at his mercy, Lon makes advances. Mac interferes because he, also, has fallen in love with Pauline. Lon then tells him of the girl's father. Mac goes to James and demands the surrender of the embezzler. James complies, and Mac arrests Pauline's father. The girl then appeals to Lon, promising him everything if he will save her parent. Lon lifts his revolver to shoot Mac. However, other refugees mistake Lon's intention. Lon is shot, and as they shoot at Mac the embezzler is killed. They are about to finish their work when another one of the mounted police comes up and covers them, while Mac disarms them. The girl looks from her dead father to Mac, whom she has already learned to love.
