Burning Daylight

Elam 'Burning Daylight' Harnish's taste for speculation and gambling leads him to San Francisco, where he's taken in by a group of corrupt capitalists and a woman from the city who lures him away from the faithful Vergie, the former dance-hall girl turned stenographer who has followed him to the big city. Cheated by his so-called business partners, Burning Daylight realizes his mistake and administers a little frontier justice before escaping with Vergie back to Alaska. This is the third version of Jack London's novel BURNING DAYLIGHT (1910); others were filmed in 1914 and 1920. (official distributor synopsis)
