Kodiak must retrieve a thief from the mountains and encounters difficulties with gold prospectors. Two fugitives pursue Kodiak, who is looking after a baby while also escorting the prisoner.

Kodiak grows wary of Mitch Kellog, an officer who has come to extradite John Nootka, a youthful automobile thief. Kellog, the individual tasked with returning Nootka to Seattle on allegations of car theft, presents a markedly different narrative concerning life and death; however, which account should Kodiak trust?

Kodiak is assigned as the probation officer for a hot-headed Native American who has just been released from prison. He finds himself in the air with an injured pilot and the desperate Indian convict. Kodiak is in a plane with the unconscious pilot, at the mercy of the rebellious parolee who can either guide him on landing or tell him to go to hell.
