Many consider this the best of Charlie Chaplin's comedies. In this film, the Lone Prospector (Chaplin) is prospecting for gold in Alaska and is trapped in a cabin with two mean-looking prospectors, Big Jim McKay (Mack Swain) and Black Larsen (Tom Murray). When they run out of food for Thanksgiving, the Lone Prospector roasts a leather boot for dinner! The weather clears, the Lone Prospector heads off on his own in search of gold and meets saloon girl Georgia (Georgia Hale). He invites Georgia to a New Year's Eve dinner, but she does not appear. Big Jim arrives back in town and joins the Lone Prospector at the cabin. As luck would have it, their cabin is blown by the wind and slides down the mountain–landing on Big Jim's gold strike. Now rich, the Lone Prospector and Big Jim sail back to the U.S. on a frigate. Also on board is Georgia, and, at last, they fall in love.
