When Sarah McKensie's parents are murdered in the gold fields of California, the four-year-old girl is saved by a mother wolf and raised in the pack. Part Mowgli, part Tarzan of the Apes, young Sarah survives against all odds.

She becomes known as the Wild Angel of the Sierras, for her curiosity about humans causes her to rescue those in need. In time the tale of the beautiful young girl comes to the ears of two men - one who found her parents' bodies and has grieved for the missing child all these years, and the other her parents' killer, a man who still wants to see her dead.
