Ruth Fielding at Golden Pass

Ruth Fielding's newest picture, Snowblind, opens to rave reviews in the theaters. Flushed with her most recent success, Ruth moves on to her next project, a western picture which is to be filmed in Montana. Ruth hires Layton Boardman, a charismatic star who recently quarrelled with the head of his old company, Sol Bloomberg. Bloomberg has prevented Boardman from getting any kind of acting work, and Ruth hopes that Bloomberg will not cause trouble for her. Ruth also hires Viola Callahan, who recently jumped contract with another company. After hiring Viola, Ruth has some regrets, for she finds Viola to be untrustworthy. In Montana, everything goes smoothly until Layton Boardman is injured and Helen Cameron is accidentally shot. Ruth feels as though there is a curse on her production. Suddenly, Viola Callahan jumps contract and joins Sol Bloomberg's company. Ruth's film company is left in the lurch and faces certain ruin. Ruth's old friend, Mr. Hammond, pays an unexpected visit and suggests that Ruth's modesty prevents her from seeing the obvious solution. To Ruth's amazement, Mr. Hammond suggests that she take over Viola's role.
