Description: Ruth Fielding is thrilled about the chance for her and her film company to accompany Mr. Hammond to Alaska.  Mr. Hammond has planned a pleasure expedition and invites Ruth and her film company along since he knows that Ruth wishes to make a film in the far north.  Unknown enemies are against the journey, for someone sets the ship on fire shortly before it is to depart.  Fortunately, the damage is not extensive, and the trip is only delayed by a few days.

During the journey, Ruth notices two suspicious sailors who act oddly when Ruth is around.  She overhears them speaking about preventing Ruth's films from reaching the United States.  Ruth worries about this unexpected threat, especially after one of the men is discovered in her room.  The men cannot easily be dismissed since the group is in a remote location and their services are needed on the crew.

Ruth finally shoots her last scenes for the film but has an impending feeling of doom.  Ruth is certain that some terrible disaster threatens, and her premonition becomes a reality.  Ruth and her friends must use all of their survival skills in order to avoid certain death.
