No 10-Count; "The story was about two sealers who were rivals for a woman's hand, one with matinee idol good looks, "Luke Oarum" the other "Jed Nelson" a rough, mean individual. When their ship becomes jammed in the ice pack the crew must escape across the sea ice. Some of the sealers perish, but humbled and snow-blind, Jed is led across ice floes to safety by Luke, who in true Hollywood style gets the girl."-from booklet Making of The Viking.
