Spoilers of the North

Matt Garraway runs a salmon fishing business in Alaska. However, at heart, he's a soulless crook and thinks nothing of fishing out of season or using illegal fishing methods to increase his catch. His brother, Bill (James Millican) is a pretty good guy and the other fishermen look up to him. So Matt decides to try to manipulate his brother into staying beyond the end of the season in order to keep all the men working. For a while it works, but Matt keeps manipulating not only Bill but two women...and one of which is a psychotic with a horrible temper. You can't help but think that sooner or later, Matt will get his comeuppance.

This is a B-movie, clocking in at only a little over an hour. Because Bs were much cheapter to make than a standard picture, to keep costs down they usually starred minor stars, such as Paul Kelly who played Matt the master manipulator. Kelly was an excellent actor...just not leading man material in an A picture. Here, he's pretty good and the film engaging. For a B, it's a bit better than average.
