Yellowknife is a thriving, modern community under the rim of the Arctic Circle. People live up there, but do they like it? This film demonstrates that they do--that a good life is no monopoly of the urban, steam-heated world to the south. Paved streets, modern housing, schools, telephones and sports make Yellowknife of 1958 a far cry from the settlement of 1937. The film examines the psychological problems of life in the northwest and shows that, with a little ingenuity, anything that can be done in the provinces can be done in the territories.
