The play is set in Canada. A Canadian and an Englishman are making a five-day journey across the snow with a sleigh-load of valuable skins. The Canadian has an accident and breaks his back. The Englishman refuses to leave him. Then the Canadian tells him about a sordid love affair with a girl the Englishman had admired, and says she has been murdered. In great perturbation of mind the Englishman finally decides to push on, carrying a letter to a mounted policeman in the town they have been making for. The sequel is unexpected.
