The Grip of the Yukon is a 1928 American silent Western film directed by Ernst Laemmle, the nephew of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle. The film starred Francis X. Bushman and Neil Hamilton, and is based on a novel by William MacLeod Raine, "The Yukon Trail, A Tale of the North".[1]
An old-time Alaskan miner dies and leaves his fortune and holdings to his daughter in the states. She comes north and is befriended by two old friends of her father. And she needs all the befriending they can provide as a true-blue villain has designs on her holdings and attributes.
The Grip of the Yukon is now presumed lost.[2] However, a 16mm print of the film may exist.[3]
