After being kidnapped from his California home, Alsatian dog Buck is bought by John Thornton for the mail run, to become the latter's close companion through many adventures together. Despite being devoted to Thornton, Buck also feels the call of the wild and runs with a wolf pack, mating with one of the pack. Buck returns to Thornton but, upon the latter's death at the hands of Indians when gold prospecting, the dog returns to run wild with the pack, becoming a creature of legend to the Indians.
