Synopsis

Dans le nord-ouest canadien, Jen Galbraith vit dans une auberge avec son frère Val et son père Peter, un contrebandier qui vend du whisky aux Indiens. Pierre, l'ami de Val, entend conquérir Jen, même si celle-ci est amoureuse du Sergent Tom Gellatly de la Police Montée. Lorsque Val essaie de récupérer une liqueur vendue illégalement par le vieux Galbraith à un Indien nommé Nuage gris, l'indien insulte Jen et Val l'abat. Tom est mandaté pour traquer le meurtrier, mais lorsqu'il arrive à la taverne, Galbraith et Pierre le droguent. Jen livre ses papiers au quartier général de la police, mais quand elle découvre qu'ils contiennent un mandat pour arrêter son frère, elle tire sur Tom pour l'empêcher de s'en prendre à Val. Pierre apparaît et attaque Jen, et peu après, Val revient, suivi de près par une équipe de police. Val et Jen forcent Pierre à avouer qu'il a tué l'indien, et Tom dit à la police qu'il est mort accidentellement.

A police officer finds a baby in a trash can, and Mrs. Lippett, the cruel matron at an orphanage where children are made to work, names her "Jerusha Abbott" (she picks "Abbott" out of a phone book and gets "Jerusha" from a tombstone). The orphan, who comes to be called Judy, does what she can to stand up for the younger children, frequently clashing with both Mrs. Lippett and the cold hearted trustees. At one point she leads a rebellion against being served prunes with every meal and at another, steals a doll from a selfish rich girl to lend to a dying orphan.
