Synopsis
The young mining engineer Weedon Scott travels to Alaska, where, like so many others, he hopes to find gold. He meets a number of disillusioned gold diggers who have given themselves up to drinking and gambling. He saves by purchase a dog he saw in an arranged fight and names it White Fang. Having been trained as a brutal instinct animal by his previous owner, the merchant Beauty Smith, Scott does not find it easy to tame. His ultimate success comes when White Fang saves him from grave danger as Smith is after Scott who is interfering with his shady dealings.
