A band of five young members of a rambler club journey into the Northwest to camp and visit a friend who has joined the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, but their plans are derailed when his absence becomes a worrying mystery. The boys, aided by scouts and a stern sergeant, ride through frontier country, meet villagers, confront stampedes and smugglers, and endure capture and perilous chases.
