A railroad wreck forms the beginning of this story of adventure in the northwest, and also the beginning of a feud between Sinclair, foreman of the bridges, and McCloud, division superintendent. Sinclair, dismissed from his position, joins a band of outlaws who rob and pillage the railroad until Whispering Smith with his posse of men, after many wild and desperate encounters, finally captures them. It is essentially a story of action, but there is also a double love interest.
