The Story
Chaplin's Little Tramp joins the stampede to the Klondike and stumbles into fortune and love.
Snowbound in a remote cabin with a starving prospector and a wanted man, the Lone Prospector survives a boiled-boot dinner and a partner's hungry hallucinations. Down in the boomtown he loses his heart to a dance-hall girl and dreams up the immortal dance of the bread rolls while waiting for a guest who never comes. A teetering cabin on a cliff edge and a long-lost gold claim carry him from destitution to riches, and back at last to the woman he adored.
