golden snake

Sgt. Philip Raine of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police is sent to the mountains to capture killer Bram Johnson. Raine encounters a dying Frenchman--whom he believes to be Johnson--who gives him a tiny baby and a rabbit snare made of golden hair. Overtaken by a blizzard and set upon by a pack of wolf dogs, he is escorted by Celie, a beautiful blonde, to the stockade where she lives with Johnson. She shields Raine from Johnson, but she and Raine are later captured by "Black" Dawson, a jealous rival. At the critical moment, Bram arrives and saves them. Before dying, he explains the mystery of Celie, who was found as a baby in an explorer's icebound ship.
