Squinty Dubois avoids a deadly night of Nick Morentz and delivers a telegram then quits his job. He deserts his post but later joins the Northwestern Mounted Police and endures harsh training in Morocco. In Marrakesh he rises to courage when faced with bandits, earning respect from Captain Lorraine and Said-el-Kanza before a final combat.
