Description:
BLACK JOHN SMITH, the uncrowned ruler of the outlaws of Halfaday Creek, and the executive, legislative and judicial branches of such government as exists in the Yukon, deals out a few drastic sentences to desperate characters who break the unwritten law of the North. His chief service to the cause of law and order is saving an innocent man from a wrathful wife by the simple device of hanging him; in addition, he increases his treasury funds by a few hundred thousand dollars by capturing an assortment of undesirables who infest the creek.
