One of the Season's Finest Offerings With the
Most Beautiful Snow Scenes Ever Filmed
From the "Bed Book" story by Katherine Newlin Burt, starring Bussel
Simpson, famous for his work in "Godless Men," and Cullen Landis of Rex
Beach's "Girl From Outside."
The story of a pretty show girl stranded in the great north and blinded
by the snow of a lonely cabin cupped in the hollow of distant hills and
a fight against the primitive desires of two men of the wilderness.
