Set in the snowy wastelands of Canada around 1920, the story follows “Jesuit Joe,” who wears the red jacket of the Canadian Mounted Police that he found in a hut, giving rise to a series of misunderstandings when he is mistaken for a member of the constabulary.

All the while, he is tracked by his nemesis, Sergeant Fox, who has vowed to bring him to justice.
