O'Ronin Rye always brings you the very latest in yesterday’s Westerns.
William MacVeigh, a jilted Mountie, nurses a broken heart while maintaining law and order in the frozen north. Meanwhile, his Mountie cabin-mate is pining for his woman and quite literally dying of loneliness. For many long, dark months, they have had only each other for company, and one of them may not make it until the thaw. Suddenly, into their isolation intrude a beautiful woman hauling a dead husband in a casket, a depraved outlaw, a corrupt Mountie, and a beautiful little girl called “Little Mystery” who changes all their lives.
In this 1913 “northern” by James Oliver Curwood, there’s something for everyone: with evildoers aplenty, starvation, Eskimos in pursuit, and smallpox threatening them all, our fearless Mountie must save the woman, save an outlaw, save his partner, save a child, and somehow manage not to lose his own soul—or die trying.
