Dr. Robert Cromwell loses a patient when a risky surgery to remove a brain tumor goes wrong and is tried for murder. Though acquitted of any criminal wrong-doing, public opinion and the Medical Association are still against him, so he decides to join his friend and flight instructor Don Evans on a long distance flight to Tokyo. However rough weather forces them to crash land in the in Alaskan wilderness killing Evans and injuring Cromwell. Luckily a fur trapper finds him and delivers him to Armstrong Trading post. There he recovers, tended by Klondike, the caretaker of the trading post who is betrothed to Jim Armstrong, a young man suffering from the same condition as Cromwell’s late patient. Cromwell still believes in the risky surgery and may just have a chance to help Jim.
