Mountie Buck Frobisher, an old friend of the Fraser family, disappears and turns up in Chicago on the run from an escaped felon who is bent on killing him, and anyone who gets in his way.

Detailed Overview

Sergeant Duncan "Buck" Frobisher, a legendary Mountie and best friend of Fraser's dead father goes missing a week before retirement. Frobisher's distraught daughter, Julie, seeks Fraser's help as she believes that her father has crossed the border and is in Chicago.

Fraser tracks the aging Mountie to a fleabag hotel on the Southside. The Frobisher he finds is not the legend he remembers, but a broken man. Fraser discovers the reason for this -- the arch-villain, Harold Geiger, that Frobisher arrested three decades ago has broken out of prison, and has sworn vengeance on Frobisher -- and for the first time in his life, Frobisher is scared. Frobisher believes that he's old, tired, and not the man he used to be. And he is deeply ashamed of his cowardice.

Fraser convinces his boyhood idol that he can't hide from his own fears, that the price of shame is too high. His spirit rekindled, Frobisher joins Fraser on the manhunt for the deadly villain who has come to Chicago to hunt him down. Now Fraser just has to keep this legend's legend alive long enough to reach retirement. And Ray has to contend with two Mounties riding hell-bent-for-leather down Michigan Ave in their dress reds.
