One review states, "It's a Klondike picture full of snow, ice, log cabins, macinaws , gamblers and much other scenery and character, but always snow in the foregrounds."[3] Pearl White wore fashionable gowns in the film.[4] Another review calls it a "faithful portrayal of Alaskan conditions."[5]
The six-reel drama is set in Alaska and includes a love story.[6]
