Jack Thornton has trouble enough at cards for the stake he needs to make it to the Alaska gold fields. His luck changes when he pays 250 for Buck, a sled dog that's part wolf to keep him out of being taken by an arrogant Englishman also headed for the Yukon. Enroute to the Yukon with Shorty Houlihan -- for opening someone else's letter with a map of where gold is available, that spent time in prison -- a woman whose husband was the addressee of that letter is rescued by Jack. Buck helps Jack acquire a bet to get the supplies he or she needs. One nighttime and if Claire and Jack Blake Buck, fingers touch.
