Desperately wanting to see Scrooge again, Goldie decides there's only one logical thing to do: take advantage of the town's hatred for Scrooge and press charges against him for kidnapping her with the newly arrived Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Anyone could press charges against him but she was the only one who wasn't afraid of hitting Scrooge's BerserkButton). Scrooge makes the dangerous journey back to town in a storm as a wildfire burns out of control and almost meets up with Goldie in the burning Blackjack Saloon before a fire hose knocks him unconscious. Thanks to some help from his friend Casey Coot, and Goldie tricking the RCMP into thinking ''he'' saved ''her'' from the fire instead of the other way around, Scrooge clears his name, gets his gold claim reinstated, and heads back to White Agony Creek. On the way, a mountie delivers a letter to him from Goldie... which he refuses to open, preferring "to pretend that there's '''one''' person in this sorry world that I might... that I can..." LoveHurts, and {{pride}} conquers all.

!!This chapter provides examples of:
* TheAce: Samuel Steele, greatest lawman in the north.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
-->'''Colonel Sam Steele:''' '''Halt''', [=McDuck=]! It won't do to add '''jaywalking''' to your already prodigious list of civil violations!
* BaitAndSwitch: Scrooge enters town and sees everyone run away at the mention that "Steele" is coming. Scrooge then meets a giant thug at a bar, riding a ''bear'', speaking only in manly roars, eating his food with a bowie knife and so on. Suddenly the brute leaves, causing Scrooge to question this, to which the brute gets a terrified look and says "Didn't you hear? ''Steele's'' coming!"
* BulletproofFashionPlate:
-->'''Colonel Sam Steele:''' A superintendent of the North-Western Mounted Police does not get... 'Muddy'.
* CannotSpitItOut: Essentially the driving force of the plot.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: The climax is Scrooge and Goldie staring each other down in a burning building. Granted, Goldie eventually ends up fainting... only to quickly reveal she was just faking.
* DeliciousDistraction: When Scrooge finally gets to Dawson, he's prepared to fight off the local toughs, per the norm. When the claim-jumpers learn that Scrooge arrived on a shipment of food, the starving men instantly forget about the duck.
* DownerEnding: Leaves most readers wishing Don Rosa could have dismissed 'canon' and just let Scrooge and Goldie get together, dammit!
* TheDreaded: The mere mention of the name "Steele" is enough to make any Yukon resident involved in anything shady flee in terror.
* FluffyTheTerrible: The brute with a ''bear'' for a mount apparently calls it "Petunia Blossom".
* ForWantOfANail: Because of a random ice block to his head, Scrooge is knocked out cold and misses his opportunity to reunite with Goldie. One can only guess if his life might have turned out very different if not for that. Used to great TearJerker-effect in "The Dream of a Lifetime".
* FurryConfusion: A group of men are shown fighting over bacon in the same chapter that has an anthropomorphic pig. There's also Soapy Slick.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Samuel Steele was certainly an exemplary officer of the RCMP who re-established order in the lawless Yukon during the Gold Rush, but Rosa tops this by making him TheAce. The meanest, orneriest prospector imaginable rides into town on a friggin' ''bear'', but is [[BreakTheBadass so scared of Steele that he rushes off before the man arrives]]. In fact, Steele is SO badass that [[BulletproofFashionPlate explosions can't even hurt him]].

Actually he's somebody else ''afraid of Steele'' and ''running away''. [[UpToEleven That's how epic Steele is]].
* TheMasochismTango: Goldie and Scrooge, again.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Scrooge, why couldn't you just ''read the letter'', you idiot?![[note]]For those who don't like rhetorical questions, because he was afraid. After all, the only woman he ever loved was as cold-hearted and bitter as him. More harsh words could... well, we'll never know, now.[[/note]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Steele, while bombastic, isn't completely unreasonable. After Casey Coot puts in a good word and Goldie has Scrooge FramedForHeroism, Steele withdraws the charges and lets Scrooge have his claim back.
* TapOnTheHead: The ice block knocking Scrooge out.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Between Goldie and Scrooge.
* WhoWillBellTheCat: The toughs get an idea to turn Scrooge and Steele against each other by accusing Scrooge of misdeeds, but Steele insists that ''someone'' has to step forward to make an official statement.
