Jack Thornton has trouble winning enough at cards for the stake he needs to get to the Alaska gold fields. His luck changes when he pays $250 for Buck, a sled dog that is part wolf to keep him from being shot by an arrogant Englishman also headed for the Yukon. En route to the Yukon with Shorty Houlihan -- who spent time in jail for opening someone else's letter with a map of where gold is to be found -- Jack rescues a woman whose husband was the addressee of that letter.

This movie has very little to do with the Jack London story. It's more of a Hollywood action-adventure with a side of romance. Clark Gable commands the screen even when he is sharing it with Buck.

Quite mediocre as an adventure film, but makes up for it with decent acting and dialogue.

Buck the dog steals Clark Gable & Loretta Young's show! He brings the emotion and the sweet moments. Reginald Owen as the thick-glassed dog-hating maniac gold-hunter crashing their party was a true movie heel! Yet with the positives this was a very uneven story with production values to match. Too studio bound and lacked the real good highlights to become memorable. Even with what happened they could have easily gotten more out of those scenes because they didn't leave a very lasting impression.
