. . . poem by Canadian Robert W. Service improves quite a bit on the original, as one would expect when an American is around to correct north-of-our-border mistakes. Service opens with the line "A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute Saloon." A pub is hardly a fit setting for a children's story, so the Inspector never breathes a word about the Malamute bar. Furthermore, having a character like the heartless hussy Lou, who swiped a bag of gold from her jilted lover's hand as he lay dying under the pretext of a goodbye hug, would not be suitable for family viewing. Therefore, the Inspector filmmakers thoughtfully transform Lou into a male kidnapper, eliminating the mercenary harlot entirely. Also excised is the dude who actually got gunned down by Lou's ex-, Sugar Daddy Dan Mac Grew. With The Inspector assuming the role of the unnamed gold prospector, all's well that ends well.
