The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) travels to the Yukon to take part in the Klondike Gold Rush. Bad weather strands him in a remote cabin with a prospector(探鉱者) who has found a large gold deposit (Mack Swain) and an escaped fugitive (Tom Murray), after which they part ways(進路を違える）, with the prospector and the fugitive fighting over the prospector's claim, ending with the prospector receiving a blow to the head and the fugitive falling off a cliff to his death. The Tramp eventually finds himself in a gold rush town where he ultimately decides to give up prospecting.
After taking a job looking after another prospector's cabin, he falls in love with a lonely saloon girl (Georgia Hale) whom he mistakenly thinks has fallen in love with him. He soon finds himself waylaid（待ち伏せ、呼び止め） by the prospector he met earlier, who has developed amnesia(記憶喪失） and needs the Tramp to help him find his claim by leading him to the cabin.
One sequence was altered in the 1942 re-release so that instead of the Tramp finding a note from Georgia which he mistakenly believes is for him, he actually receives the note from her. Another major alteration is the ending, in which the now-wealthy Tramp originally gave Georgia a lingering kiss; the sound version ends before this scene. Now, they share a romantic moment by the old house.
The greatest silent films had no need to add music or narration to hold an imaginative viewer's attention. The concentration required to watch a silent film has, of course, been lost to audiences accustomed to the naturalism - and literalism - of sound films.
The most memorable scene is one in which he dines on an old shoe... he carves(肉の切り分け） it carefully, smacks(舌なめずり） his lips in anticipation, and then eats it with gusto and appreciation, sucking the nails as if they contained the most juices and twirling（回す） the laces around his fork as if they were spaghetti...
