Boyd Emerson (Joel McCrea) and his pal Fraser (Raymond Hatton) are handed the opportunity of a lifetime when smitten copper mine mogul Cherry Malotte (Evelyn Brent) convinces her business partner (William Davidson) to bankroll their fishing venture in salmon-filled Alaskan waters. Though he and Fraser accept Cherry's help, Boyd is infatuated with Seattle socialite Mildred Wayland (Jean Arthur), whose father disapproves of Boyd, and consequently teams up with rival fishing mogul Frederick Marsh (Gavin Gordon) to sabotage Emerson's fishing operation. Not only does Marsh want Boyd out of the way in terms of business competition, he also wants to eliminate him as competition for Mildred's heart. An all out battle for fishing industry dominance ensues, and when things get physical, one of them winds up dead... (official distributor synopsis)
