It involves an unnamed man up in the Yukon Territory of Canada during a savagely cold winter, who is working a gold claim. He leaves the Yukon Trail, accompanied only by his dog, and heads toward camp where he will meet his fellow prospectors ("the boys"). The man has an unfortunate accident when he falls through a patch of thin ice covering a creek and soaks his pants and lower legs. His situation quickly deteriorates as he struggles to get a fire going so he can warm himself up and stay alive.
