The story of one of Canada's most colourful frontiersmen, Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie, who, a hundred years ago, brought law and order to the gold-mining camps of British Columbia. A striking figure in flowing cloak and broad-brimmed hat, Begbie's fame grew into a legend that survives to this day.
