Ben's doctor prescribes a trip to Alaska, to cure the enlarged vein in Ben's leg. The villagers assume Ben came to Alaska for a vein of gold.
Shemp appears as a villager with frostbitten hands, who needs help drinking his beer... and possibly with something else.
This plot premise was adopted for The Three Stooges in OUT WEST (1947).
Shemp was paid $200 for this supporting role.
