Specially adapted version by Mitsu Yamamoto.

"Wild and Free!

Meet Buck, a strong young dog, stolen from his safe California home and transported to the frigid Klondike. Here he encounters greedy prospectors, savage Indians and howling wolves, as he learns cunning and toughness to survive. Buck turns into the bravest sled dog in all Alaska and comes to learn love and loyalty to his master. But deep inside Buck yearns to be free of man's rule and heed 'the call of the wild.'"
