Plot

As described in a film magazine review, [3] Joe Holland, superintendent of the Lucky 13 mine, saves his sick friend, Weadon Scott, from a pack of wolves. He discovers that someone is stealing gold ore from the mine. Frank Wilde, one of the foremen, buys White Fang, a man-killing dog. He enters him into a dogfight against Cherokee, a bulldog. White Fang is rescued when Weadon enters. Holland's daughter Mollie marries Frank. She then discovers that her husband is stealing gold ore from her father's mine. Her husband then kills Joe Holland and beats up Weadon when White Fang comes rushing in. White Fang kills the villain. With Mollie now a widow, Weadon marries Mollie.
