Dramatizes Jack London’s story about two people’s efforts to possess a wild and beautiful DOG. In the frozen Klondike country in 1901, an intelligent brown DOG senses the intentions of his starving master and narrowly escapes being shot for food. He forges his way through treacherous countryside until he is discovered by a young poet and his wife in northern California. As the weeks pass, the couple works patiently to tame the magnificent animal they call “Wolf.” When a chance meeting between “Wolf” and his Klondike master causes a bitter dispute over ownership, the two parties agree to leave the choice to the DOG.
