In 1909 two Americans, Commander Robert E. Peary and Frederick A. Cook, each claimed to have reached the North Pole first. This film portrays a major historical controversy and examines the painstaking research of a U.S. librarian who shows that Cook constantly altered and falsified his readings; however, we also learn that Peary had no concrete proof that he was at the North Pole! A thrilling, emotional adventure and detective story with many twists and a sensational conclusion.
