Barney McFee, a clerk in the service of the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police, is finally given the long-desired opportunity of going out on a case. Inspector McGrath sends him out to bring in John Ramsay, wanted for murder. Barney, enthusiastic over the chance given him, rushes off to tell his sweetheart, Dorothy Alden, daughter of an ex-Mounted Policeman. Later Barney is told that the man for whom he's looking went out with Dorothy who called for him. Barney accuses Dorothy of harboring a criminal, forces his way into a room in her cabin and finds his man. He takes him away despite the pleadings of his sweetheart, whose brother the criminal is, and with heavy heart turns his captive over to the Inspector. Dorothy, proud that her lover is a real man, relents and forgives him.
