Plot
Rin-Tin-Tin is rescued from mistreatment by a trapper named Ed Nolan, who himself leads a nomadic life. Despite Nolan's efforts, Rin-Tin-Tin refuses to enter his cabin. Nolan then brings Rin-Tin-Tin to the home of Mary Mallory, a woman he has unsuccessfully courted due to his wayward lifestyle. Through their shared affection for Rin-Tin-Tin, a newfound understanding blossoms between Nolan and Mary, motivating Nolan to reform his ways and find employment. When Mary's younger sister falls ill, Mary suspects Rin-Tin-Tin of harming her due to blood on his jaws, leading Nolan to consider shooting him. Rin-Tin-Tin flees. As Mary endeavors to seek medical help for her sister amid a snowstorm, their dog sled overturns, leaving them stranded. Rin-Tin-Tin, faithfully trailing them, delivers a message from Mary to Nolan. Responding to the distress call, Nolan rescues them, and the doctor reveals that the little sister's injuries were inflicted by a wolf, not Rin-Tin-Tin. With the assurance of the sister's recovery and the revelation of Rin-Tin-Tin's innocence, Mary and Nolan reconcile with Rin-Tin-Tin.
