The story begins in River's End where John Keith is accused of murdering a business, associate. River's end was known to the "Mounties" as the place where murderers sought refuge from the law . . . where civilisation ended and' adventure began. Convicted of the crime he makes a desperate attempt to escape and flees to the northern woods. Sergeant Conniston is sent by his superiors to bring in Keith dead or alive. With hunter and hunted bearing a striking resemblance to each other, Keith assumes the role of Sergeant Conniston, after the latter dies of his wounds suffered in a fall. From that point until the selfmade "Sergeant" catches the actual murderer, the film is filled' with thrilling action scenes and many exciting episodes. Dennis Morgan plays the dual role of John Keith and Sergeant Conniston. Introducing Noel Madison in his first British production, "The Man Who Made Diamonds," which is the associate film, is a fast-moving, unusual drama. Madison, famed for his portrayal of gangsters in Hollywood and in Australia and New Zealand for his stage performance as "Dracula," runs the gamut of violence and crime in the title role.
