San Francisco ex-cop Vic Barron's family has died and he has been disfigured, framed and imprisoned when he crossed the wrong mobsters. After his release, he wants revenge on gangster Tino Morelli, whom he considers responsible.
Morelli is hiding out in Ketchikan, Alaska. After his arrival there, Vic finds Morelli and Morelli's charming little daughter. With the help of tavern owner Peggy Harding, Vic discovers that Morelli did not order the bombing and that the true murderer was a hitman named Roxey.
Roxey, who has followed Vic, murders Morelli, but is wounded by Vic in a shootout, then falls from atop a dam. After saying farewell to Peggy and to Morelli's orphaned daughter, Vic travels back to San Francisco, but with a hint that he might return.
