Plot

In the frost-bitten back country of Northern Ontario, Corporal Steve Wagner, a five-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police force, finds himself tested in a game of wits and loyalty. Born in Canada of German descent, Wagner's allegiance is called into question when he and his partner, Corporal Jim Austin, detain a German Luftwaffe officer, Colonel Hugo von Keller, on an undisclosed war mission. The trust between Wagner and Austin is unshakeable, but Inspector Barnett, their superior officer, views Wagner's interaction with von Keller with a suspicious eye. When von Keller makes a daring escape from his internment camp, Wagner is arrested under dubious circumstances tied to the breakout. With his seemingly tarnished reputation, Wagner becomes the perfect candidate for an audacious ploy by the RCMP. While on bail, he's thrust into a perilous mission to infiltrate von Keller's ranks and uncover his true intentions. The German officer, ill-equipped to navigate the harsh Canadian wilderness, welcomes Wagner into the fold due to his invaluable knowledge of the terrain. However, this dangerous journey is fraught with tension and mistrust. Wagner finds himself amidst a group of dubious characters, including an American Nazi sympathizer named Ernst and Tom Dagor, an aboriginal who believes his people would fare better under German rule. Amidst this web of conspiracy and deceit, Wagner's task becomes increasingly perilous, all while his fiancée, Laura McBain, refuses to accept the charges against him and embarks on a daring quest to find him. In "Northern Pursuit" (1943), the frigid Canadian wilderness becomes a cold crucible of courage and treachery, testing the resolve of a dedicated Mountie trapped in a perilous game of deceit and betrayal. As the lines blur between friend and foe, Wagner must navigate the treacherous landscape of trust and deception to expose the truth behind von Keller's covert mission, all while trying to maintain his own safety and integrity. The chilling winds of war blow across this thrilling tale of espionage, loyalty, and survival.
