Beauty-Proof

• Watchlist

Corporal Philip Steele of the Northwest Mounted Police, a notorious woman hater and supposedly "beauty-proof," is ordered to arrest Thorpe, a fugitive charged with the attempted murder of man named Hodge, alias Garson. Thorpe's beautiful sister, Carol, is determined to exonerate her brother, and directs her henchmen to abduct the corporal, place him in a box, and hide him in Hodge's cabin. Aware that Philip is in the room, Carol confronts Hodge about his unwelcomed efforts to seduce her, and reveals that her brother was attempting to kill him in her defense. As Hodge makes another advance on Carol, Philip breaks free and recognizes the villain as the same man who earlier robbed him of his own wife. Philip is determined to capture Hodge alive and deters all attempts on the criminal's life as he pursues his quarry. Hodge is killed in the ensuing fight, after which Philip discovers that he has fallen in love with Carol.
