Adventurer Rod Drew heads into the Canadian wilderness with a map to a hidden gold mine and stumbles onto a young woman long lost to her family, fighting off a renegade trapper's gang for both the gold and her safety.

Adapted from a James Oliver Curwood adventure novel and shot amid the pines and lakes of the Sierra Nevada rather than Monogram’s usual dusty backlot, The Trail Beyond trades the cattle-rustling formula of its stablemates for a snowbound gold-rush yarn — a rare change of scenery for Wayne’s Lone Star run.
