Yukon : The Indian dog's tail finds fourteen-year-old Ben half frozen in a snow storm next to his dead father. He takes him to a gold digger camp , where the boy soon has to work as a prospector for the brutal O'Brien, who keeps him chained up like a dog. The stranger Chet, who comes to camp one day, is able to free Ben.
Ben lets old Jones take him along on his way to San Francisco ; a restless journey begins, as the alleged fortune of Jones' deceased friend is stowed in a trunk in his luggage, which is to be brought to his heirs. In a robbery - Chet is also among the attackers - Jones is killed, and Ben is left with the chest in the wilderness.
The crooks are killed by an Indian: Dog's tail saves Ben's life again. Ben moves on to San Francisco with the chest, which only contains photos and letters from the old gold digger.
