Years later, told by way of a flashback by Bill Cormack (Fabio Testi) to a fellow Mountie, he relates that Cariboo (Guido Mannari) uses the wages of his girlfriend Elizabeth Lynne Frederick, a sought-after singer, to pay for debts incurred through poker and drinking. When an angry lynch mob chases him from the saloon, the Canadian Mountie Cormack rescues him. Cariboo becomes an outlaw. He and Wolf's (Robert Hundar) outlaw gang steal from a gold shipment from two Mounties, killing one. With the booty, Cariboo goes to Elizabeth to emigrate with her to the States. She, however, decides against it; she wants to stay close to Bill, although he does not seem to share her affection. Hatred arises between the men, and Bill decides his job is to keep Cariboo from doing any more harm. Years later, Elizabeth and Bill are married and have a son, Jimmy (Renato Cestiè). Cariboo escapes again from the prison where he has served time many times. When he finds Bill, Elizabeth is dead and Jimmy in his sole care. Cariboo kidnaps Jimmy, taking him to the north, where he hid the stolen gold. With a posse of redcoats, Bill follows his trail. The former cronies, led by Wolf (Robert Hundar), are also after him for the stolen loot. When Jimmy falls ill on the way, he is operated on by a doctor (Lionel Stander). This is how Bill gets to know the whereabouts of Cariboo. In a final confrontation, Bill spares Cariboo's life. In a plot twist, it turns out they are brothers. Together, they fight the other outlaws to save Jimmy. The battle is won, but Cariboo is killed by a gunshot wound incurred in their final battle.
