A lighthearted gold-rush adventure comedy built on romantic mishaps, brawling camaraderie, and the clash between frontier roughness and civilized expectations.

After striking gold in Alaska, the romantic George sends his womanizing partner Sam to bring his fiancée up from Seattle. When Sam finds that she has already married, he returns instead with Angel, a dancer originally from France.
