Silent with live soundtrack by coast musician Ken Dalgleish.
An epic adventure across Canada's Great White North. Canada's first English language feature, filmed in Alberta. Nell Shipman, filmdom's original action heroine, protects her husband, avenges her father, defeats the villian, and saves the day, always with the help of a dog and her bear, and never looking more beautiful than in her pioneering nude scene.
