River Pirates

Description

A man who used to work as a river pilot now takes care of a lighthouse on the Yukon River. Some crooks are making plans to crash a riverboat on purpose so they can grab the gold that's being carried on it. The problem is that the lighthouse keeper's wife happens to be traveling on that same boat.
