Plot: John arrives in the mountains, anxious to hunt. He has left his fiancée in the city. Flo, old Jim's daughter, dressed as a boy, carries the mail over the mountains. Ned, a rough man, is in love with her. She is indifferent to him. While going down a steep hill. Flo falls in the snow and strains her ankle. She is found unconscious by John. He, mistaking her for a boy, carries her to his lodge. His guide comes in and tells John that the supposed boy is a girl. John is embarrassed. She calls John in when her ankle is bandaged and asks him if he will carry the mail for her. John agrees, to the surprise of all who see him, John goes to Flo's father and tells him not to worry. Ned comes and tries to make Flo go home by force. He is prevented by the guide, who orders him off the place. Flo, later, discovers writing on the back of a photo of Ruth, which shows that John is engaged. Disappointed, she determines to go home. The guide, looking out of the window, observes Ned setting a bear trap. The guide is about to shoot when John interferes and, telling the guide to watch, goes out. John pretends to be caught in the trap. Ned comes up and taunts him. Suddenly John takes his foot out. Ned grabs his gun, but he is severely beaten by John, who warns him to stay away. John helps Flo home. He starts to embrace her when he thinks of his fiancée. He is thanked by the old man. Ned comes in. Ned and John glare at each other. Flo calls Ned and talks friendly to him, to John's disgust. John leaves, disappointed. As soon as he is gone, Flo tells Ned she does not love him. In the meantime. John's fiancée has fallen in love with another and has written him to break their engagement. John gets this letter on his return home. Suddenly realizing his love for Flo, he turns back to the mountains. Flo is dreaming of him. John comes in and gently wakes her from a hopeless dream to a happy reality.
