Description: At the turn of the century, Duke and Chester, two vaudeville
performers, go to Alaska to make their fortune. On the ship to Skagway, they
find a map to a secret gold mine, which had been stolen by McGurk and Sperry,
a couple of thugs. They disguise themselves as McGurk and Sperry to get off
the ship. Meanwhile, Sal Van Hoyden is in Alaska to try and recover the map;
it had been her father's. She falls in with Ace Larson, who wants to steal
the gold mine for himself. Duke and Chester, McGurk and Sperry, Ace and his
henchmen, and Sal, chase each other all over the countryside, trying to get
the map.

Trivia: Bob Hope recalled that during the scene where he and Bing Crosby were
bedding down beside their cabin in the Klondike, they were to be joined by a bear.
They were told that the bear was tame and its trainer would always be nearby.
Against their better judgment they went along with it. However, when the cameras
started filming, the bear ambled over to Hope and, instead of lying down next to
him like it was supposed to, the animal sniffed him and started growling.
Hope and Crosby immediately stopped the scene and refused to work with the bear
any longer, despite the trainer's protestations that it was tame and harmless.
The next day the bear attacked its trainer and tore his arm off.
