SummaryAttracted by adventure and sensational gold finds, journalist Kit Bellow set off for Alaska at the end of the last century. Just arrived by ship, he is smiled at as a greenhorn by the beautiful and successful gold digger Joy. He arrives in Dawson City with his new friend Shorty, who pulled the exhausted one out of the puddle along the way - to Joy's astonishment. He fights for them, wins big at roulette and is rescued from the rope by Wild Water Bill. With Shorty he is outwitted by Joy and her father in the search for gold, but finally the two find the legendary Goldsee. However, they cannot raise the gold without enormous financial means, and they reject a partnership with the heavily rich company "Guggenheim & Söhne". For this Kit takes part in a dog sled race for a productive claim that has become free. Shorty gets the best dogs, Joy helps with her team, and arm in arm with Wild Water Bill Kit reaches the finish line.
