Plot[edit]
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 dog fight match against Cherokee, a bull dog. 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 her now a widow, Weadon marries Mollie.
