Synopsis:
Zatara travels to the far north to find the Jagtooth Gold Mine that his friend Henri Jardine discovered. The magician aids and befriends a man and his daughter, saving them first from illness, then from the clutches of Tony, an eskimo who has stolen Henri’s claim.

Zatara goes hunting with his new friend, but while away, Tony kidnapps Annette and tries to leave by plane to return to the U.S. Zatara is wounded, but he transforms his assistant Tong into an flying armored man. Tong is then able to rescue Annette and bring Tony to the police.
