The True Mind Is Wild

THE MIND IS ONLY FREE IN THE WILDERNESS

This is a very simple yet fascinating film. A dog, a big dog actually, is captured in California by some dog dealers, and he ends up first in a sleigh-pulling team. He becomes the leader of this team of dogs that pull a sleigh in Alaska to deliver mail in all seasons. But the postal service is terminated, at least with dogs, and the dog ends up on a team owned by some private individual who mistreats the dogs. This particular dog, Buck, is saved by some independent “resident” in the village or small town and they both decide to go on a wild chase for the end of the trail and the wildest adventure they can find.

The dog becomes the confidant and the friend of the man, and they find themselves in a totally isolated spot, living in a cabin abandoned by some gold prospector. The dog though finds a second friend, and it is a female timber wolf. The man is not jealous, far from it, and the end of the summer arrives, and the man has to go back down to his town. Unluckily the person who was mistreating the dog and whom the man saved the dog from, finally finds them and he wants to kill the man. The dog suddenly back from his wild love affair, attacks this person and actually throws him into the burning cabin whose fire was caused by the attack of the dog molester. And the roof caves in over the dog exploiter.
