A young wolfdog pup gets separated from his mother and his curiosity of the world around him leads him on the adventure of a lifetime. Over the course of his journey, the wolfdog would mature into a noble animal while gaining the title of White Fang from an Indian tribe who takes him in when one of their sled dogs is unable to work any more. Eventually, White Fang ends up being swindled away from his first master by the scheming Beauty Smith and forced to become a fight dog.
