00:00:00The Sound of the Wild
00:00:13The sound of the wild
00:00:19Is the voice of nature's child
00:00:26Falling gently like summer snow
00:00:32Burning swiftly as rivers flow
00:00:39To the sea and the frozen sky
00:00:45And the haunting call
00:00:50Of the lone wolf's cry
00:00:55The sound of the wild
00:01:01Is the man in every child
00:01:08And the child that is every man
00:01:14And it's part of nature's plan
00:01:21Not last or reason why
00:01:27But to follow the lone wolf's cry
00:01:37So take my hand
00:01:42Together we will find the way
00:01:48We'll live our dreams from day to day
00:01:55And try to understand
00:02:01The sound of the wild
00:02:07Is a song that comes alive
00:02:14And the music is still the same
00:02:20As that first day when it came
00:02:27To the sea and the frozen sky
00:02:33And the haunting call
00:02:38Of the lone wolf's cry
00:03:08The Sound of the Wild
00:03:38The Sound of the Wild
00:03:57Bang! Bang! I got it, Dad! I killed it!
00:04:02Good boy, Jimmy.
00:04:05Pity your gun wasn't loaded.
00:04:10Come along. Let's have a look at the traps.
00:04:19I'm gonna check the ones over the ridge. You be careful, Jim.
00:04:22Don't worry, Dad.
00:04:36Hey, boy. Now keep still and they'll get you free.
00:04:45I'm sorry we caught you, but we have to set traps for food.
00:04:53There. Now you're free.
00:04:56You're a good boy.
00:04:59There.
00:05:01You're a good boy.
00:05:04There.
00:05:06Ah, that's what I'll call you.
00:05:10Jim!
00:05:13Jim, that's a wolf! Don't move!
00:05:16All right, I've got him in my sight.
00:05:18Now then, move away. Slowly.
00:05:21No, Dad! It's not a wolf! It's a dog! Don't shoot!
00:05:25That's a wolf, son!
00:05:27No, it's not! It's a dog!
00:05:30He was caught in the trap!
00:05:32And I freed him, Dad. Now you made him run away.
00:05:36It was a wolf.
00:05:38God only knows, son, why he didn't tear you into little pieces.
00:05:42You should know better than to approach an animal like that by yourself, Jim.
00:05:48This country is hard. It's dangerous.
00:05:51Come on, now. Let's go home.
00:06:00Hey! You came back!
00:06:11I thought I'd lost you forever.
00:06:15Oh, did you bring that for me?
00:06:18Thanks!
00:06:21Oh, did you bring that for me?
00:06:24Thanks!
00:06:50No! The wolves!
00:07:21Ah!
00:07:32Jim!
00:07:38Help!
00:07:41Help!
00:07:44Don't move, Jim!
00:07:51That darn animal again. I told you he was dangerous.
00:07:55But he saved me from the wolves, Dad, and brought us some food.
00:07:58He's not a wolf. He's a dog.
00:08:00He remembers. I freed him from the trap.
00:08:04He looks pretty bad.
00:08:07We can't leave him to suffer.
00:08:09No! No, please, Dad. Don't shoot.
00:08:13He'll get well again.
00:08:15You'll make it. Won't you?
00:08:19We can try.
00:08:25What's he doing running around here, then?
00:08:27The nearest civilization is Dawson. That's a hundred miles away.
00:08:31Maybe nobody loved him. Maybe he ran away and went wild.
00:08:36The Indians around here tell a story about a dog whose master they killed.
00:08:41They say he leads a wolf pact that makes revenge attacks against them.
00:08:47Well, he's tame enough now, and he did save my life.
00:08:50You don't have to keep saying it every two minutes.
00:08:52He's a great dog, and he saved your life.
00:08:54But he's still half-wild, and he could turn on one of us one of these days.
00:09:02If he keeps that up, we'll all die of hunger in a week.
00:09:05He understood you. It's incredible.
00:09:08All he lacks is speech.
00:09:10Anyway, listen, at night he's not staying inside.
00:09:14Jim, Mary, listen to me for a minute.
00:09:18We were very lucky to find this old cabin.
00:09:22I realize now we're not going to find near enough food to last us the winter.
00:09:29I have to try to make it to Dawson.
00:09:32Traveling alone, I figure I should make it there and back with supplies.
00:09:37Or you two children run out of food.
00:09:40But, Dad, it's dangerous, alone, with the Indians and in this weather.
00:09:43You said so yourself.
00:09:45I have to try or we starve.
00:09:49Now then, listen, Jim.
00:09:53These bullets aren't for you.
00:09:56You know how to use a gun all right.
00:09:58We keep them for emergencies only.
00:10:00All right, Dad, and pretty soon Buck will be well.
00:10:02We'll look after Mary, won't we, Buck?
00:10:05That's the name you've chosen for him?
00:10:07Sure.
00:10:08Buck?
00:10:09It's a nice name.
00:10:10Nice or not, you, Buck, are now going to get out of here.
00:10:13Out you go.
00:10:14Go on.
00:10:19I said get out.
00:10:21Go on.
00:10:25I'll be back as soon as possible, all right?
00:10:29Goodbye, Dad.
00:10:30Goodbye, son.
00:10:31Take care of Mary, huh?
00:10:33So long.
00:10:34See you soon.
00:10:39Hey, what are you doing, Buck?
00:10:41Come on, let go.
00:10:43Let go or you'll tear my coat.
00:10:45The devil's got into this animal.
00:10:48Let go, Buck.
00:10:49What's the matter with you?
00:10:51Seems like he doesn't want us to go.
00:10:53Well, we'll just have to get used to the idea.
00:10:56He's yours, Jim.
00:10:57Call him.

00:14:53Hey, are you all right? I'm all right. How did that happen? I
00:14:58Told you it was too heavy. Yeah, I'm sorry. We don't move from here. The wolves don't have a feast
00:15:05Hey the sled the dogs are running
00:15:08Hurry
00:15:23Start dogs
00:15:28We'll have to try to reach Dawson on foot
00:15:32Miles of the snow most of our supplies are gone. Our tent ammo. There's no way
00:15:39How many do you think we can survive one two?
00:15:44We can always try yeah, you're right let's go
00:15:57We will find we're lucky
00:16:14The

00:18:52He wanted to put out a paper. You see he was a printer for years his associate Dan Wilson went on ahead with the press
00:18:59We meant to join him before winter. Well
00:19:03Man wouldn't leave his kids way out here unless he had a pretty good reason we have buck

00:35:49Everybody in Dawson City knows who he is
00:35:52We don't
00:35:54Mr. William Bates the richest man in the territory
00:35:59Everything around here belongs to him
00:36:01And he always gets what he wants
00:36:05Don't look like he does much digging for gold. In fact, it don't look like he does much of anything
00:36:11He never even leaves that table
00:36:14Oh

00:37:21Well, anyway, I need men like you you're not in Dawson to dig I'll take you on $100 a month all expenses paid
00:37:28Whiskey gratis. We've never been a man's hirelings
00:37:32No, that's that's as you wish but things cost a lot in Dawson's if you're a man
00:37:38But things cost a lot in Dawson City, especially the men like you you'll survive

00:46:31You know, you and me should be working together. No, why don't we make a deal?
00:46:36You're forgetting my brother was killed right here your saloon
00:46:43Well, that was an unfortunate accident trigger was drunk
00:46:48no, I thought it was a fair fight, but then I checked on it and
00:46:53Well, anyway, he's left Dawson and uh, oh sooner or later we'll catch up to him I
00:46:59Think you're hiding him somewhere
00:47:03But don't worry
00:47:05Buck will find him. Yeah. Well, we'll talk about that again Mackenzie
00:47:10But I'll still bet you that that dog is gonna belong to me and so will you like everything else in Dawson
00:47:17And from now on you can't buy a thing
00:47:20Did you be my terms
00:47:24Now that's the kind of bit I like Bates
00:47:26But if you lose you lose the town
00:47:47Aren't you meant to be inside singing? Well, I'm not much of a singer
00:47:56I think you're great
00:48:01I'll walk with you. I'm so sick of being cooped up in that sewer
00:48:08What's the matter you look worried no
00:48:14Dreaming a little I guess I was thinking of you
00:48:20I was thinking of us both here in Dawson
00:48:23What are you doing in this place, I'm a singer in a saloon, what's so strange about that?
00:48:32That man
00:48:42I just wish that you didn't have to work there
00:48:47I'd like to like to see you out
00:48:52I
00:49:10Got to find the guy who killed my brother
00:49:14That's the first thing
00:49:17Then there's Jim

00:50:07Just around the bend in the river there
00:50:10But you know, it ain't a nice place for little kids like you. I'll be 10 in November. Ah, well, that's different still
00:50:17I expect you're broke. So I'd like to give you no no money. Mr. Banks. Don't be silly

00:51:23There's one judge. Mr. Bates
00:51:26however, I am a man of letters and I do know something of the literary prose, so
00:51:31Perhaps I could help you run the paper. Where do I find mr. Bates?

00:55:15You come
00:55:17Here
00:55:27All of these men and women took a biggest gamble of their lives when they came to the Yukon
00:55:32Most of them spent all last winter on the road. They begged borrowed or stole enough money to get here
00:55:38They came here looking for gold
00:55:40truth is
00:55:41Looking for gold as a gamble. These are inveterate gamblers. They'll gamble as long as they live
00:55:47Why do you think I'm here the only difference between me and them?
00:55:52Is that I always win

00:56:41Yeah, it's Mary
00:56:49Sure, I'm glad I found you. What are you doing with Bates? We're kind of partners a paper called the nugget. He's closed it down
00:57:01Now I don't have a job
00:57:05Shame John doesn't bet you a gambling man. He might help you. What does that mean?
00:57:14My share of the nuggets
00:57:17Against that dog. I don't play cards. I didn't say anything about games of chance. I
00:57:23I
00:57:25Admire courage, but most of all I admire intelligence. I want that dog
00:57:35I'll bet you that
00:57:45I'll bet you he won't jump from that balcony down there
00:57:49No, he could get hurt
00:57:51Well, it's all part of the gamble, but I don't think you to jump he's too intelligent
00:57:59You could teach Bates the lesson
00:58:04Charlie yeah, take buck up to the balcony
00:58:11Hey boy, come on
00:58:21I
00:58:51I
00:59:21I
00:59:25Come on jump jump boy. That's it. Come on
00:59:41Come on come on boy jump
00:59:43Jump
00:59:49Jim make him jump. Hey, maybe the kids will make it do it
01:00:13Yeah
01:00:26Come on
01:00:43I
01:00:51Want it done tonight
01:00:55We heard about Hank, yeah
01:00:58Terrible. I'm sorry
01:01:00What are you gonna do now?
01:01:03Settle up with face somehow
01:01:06He's got to survive till I can figure out how to beat him in his own game
01:01:09Don't worry miss Mary. I'll be helping him
01:01:12Hey, I've got a good idea. Why don't we show John the printing press?
01:01:42Oh
01:01:59The press still works, all right, that's good and here's some type use those again two days will be organized again
01:02:07Ah
01:02:10And he knows a buck no, we searched the whole town no sign of it
01:02:16But Charlie has an idea. Yeah
01:02:19Those two killers of Bates have disappeared too. You think Bates did it?
01:02:25Who else?
01:02:27He tried to destroy the paper because he stepped in his toes. I bet he's got one
01:02:33We've got to find him
01:02:37Miss Sonia, I've been looking everywhere for you. We're gonna be able to put the newspaper on his feet. Miss Sonia. Oh
01:02:45Great news Jim
01:02:48And where are you two going with all this equipment
01:02:51Well, Charlie says he knows a place a stream in the mountains with plenty of gold. Yeah, that's right
01:02:57An old Indian told me about it last winter, but up till now I couldn't find a partner willing to try it with me
01:03:04But that's dangerous and besides it's going to snow soon I have to go Sonia
01:03:13So I'm a little bit worried about leaving the children
01:03:18You don't have to worry about that they can stay with me we can't stay with you
01:03:23We must look after this place if we leave it empty at any time at all. Then Bates will just try to burn it down again
01:03:31No, Jim and I'll sleep here
01:03:34I think the Bates made a big mistake tangling with you two kids. You'd have done better to stir up a nest of rattlesnakes
01:03:41Well, I'll keep an eye on him
01:03:44And I'll wait for you
01:03:57I'll see you in the spring
01:04:04You mean you dare
01:04:11You know, it'd kill us if they were loose how long do we have to stay here Joe Bates gives us the word
01:04:26Let him alone
01:04:28Don't give me orders. I got a score to settle with this animal
01:04:32You see that he's gonna pay for doing that
01:04:47I'll be back later
01:05:01I
01:05:31You
01:06:01You
01:06:31I
01:06:56Saw when did you get back?
01:06:58Right this minute I came straight here. How's your friend? Oh John
01:07:04He's still out there washing and panning I said to him it's time to go back to dust
01:07:11But he's like a mule
01:07:14He's got it into his head to become richer than Bates
01:07:17So I can throw him out of town and he won't come back before
01:07:22You can bet on that. How did it go out there? Fine?
01:07:28It's better than we thought in fact, I brought this from John
01:07:35He said to tell you there's plenty more where this came from for you and the kids
01:07:41By the way, how are those two kids? Oh, that's fine. Really good
01:07:46It looks like we're gonna have our own newspaper soon. Everybody in town has helped them and those two killers
01:07:52See their back. Hmm, and that means the Bates has got something cooking
01:07:58What's happened here not so many people haven't you heard Charlie that headline and the nugget it finally came true
01:08:06There's a committee now, and that means no gambling
01:08:11Bates
01:08:13He sure must be mad
01:08:15You can say that again. He's upstairs now with some of his pals from Circle City plotting something
01:08:22You want another? Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good
01:08:26You want another? Oh, no. No, no. No, thanks Sonia. I
01:08:30Want to get these stashed away
01:08:33Anyway, I pushed I need a good long sleep
01:08:38See you tomorrow. Hmm
01:08:56I
01:08:58♪
01:09:11Oh!
01:09:12♪
01:09:23These fools, with their committee things, they've got me.
01:09:25They learn it's not easy to beat William Bates.
01:09:28I've still got some aces up my sleeve.
01:09:35Phew!
01:09:37All right.
01:09:38Now, I didn't bring you here from Circle City for an election.
01:09:42I think you're all strangers here.
01:09:44Maybe I'd better tell you who does what.
01:09:46Patso.
01:09:48A great man with a gun.
01:09:50Soapy.
01:09:53The best dynamiter outside a prison cell.
01:09:55And Mac.
01:09:56Heh, heh, heh.
01:09:58Yeah.
01:09:59He knows a safe inside out.
01:10:02And, uh, outside in.
01:10:05This is all very interesting, Bates.
01:10:08But how do you expect only the three of us to take that bank?
01:10:12Even if it is on Christmas Day?
01:10:14Oh, shut up, Patso.
01:10:15There'll be two of my men, Mike and Chuck.
01:10:17Good men, I vouch for them.
01:10:19But up to now,
01:10:21we haven't touched on the main point.
01:10:22That is the brains of this show.
01:10:24That'll be my job.
01:10:26Gentlemen.
01:10:27Cheers.
01:10:28Cheers.
01:10:28Cheers.
01:10:30Well, I guess if you gotta work out, there shouldn't be any problem.
01:10:56Huh?
01:10:57Charlie!
01:10:58Mary!
01:10:59John!
01:10:59Quick!
01:11:00Charlie!
01:11:01Come on.
01:11:02Come on, Charlie.
01:11:03Up you get.
01:11:04Let's get you inside.
01:11:06Come on.
01:11:09Onto the table.
01:11:10What'd you do, fall over or something?
01:11:15You need a drink.
01:11:17Charlie, what happened?
01:11:17What's wrong?
01:11:19They jumped me.
01:11:24They took the gold that...
01:11:26John sent.
01:11:29Charlie!
01:11:30Charlie.
01:11:32Who did it?
01:11:33Bates, his men.
01:11:35Bates, him again.
01:11:37Listen.
01:11:38I just heard them talking in his room.
01:11:40They're planning to rob the bank on Christmas Day.
01:11:43We've got to stop them.
01:11:45Where do you think you're going?
01:11:47To find some help.
01:11:49If that bunch start to shoot their way out of Tarset,
01:11:53there'll be a massacre.
01:11:55The people will be roared if they took the gold.
01:12:00Tarset would become a ghost town.
01:12:03I must find help.
01:12:04You can't go.
01:12:05You're hurt.
01:12:16I'll go.
01:12:17Go where?
01:12:17You're crazy.
01:12:19I'll go and find John.
01:12:20He'll know what to do.
01:13:26Charlie!
01:13:27Charlie!
01:13:55What's that?
01:15:25Inside the tent, quick!
01:15:56John!
01:16:02John!
01:16:09John, I'm sorry.
01:16:25Don't be afraid, darling.
01:16:29Everything will be all right.
01:16:33Now that I have you,
01:16:35there's a bigger reason to settle my account with Bates.
01:16:39And besides,
01:16:41farming is hard work.
01:16:43I don't want to lose you now.
01:16:47We go back to Tarset.
01:16:49Agreed.
01:16:51Miss Kendall.
01:16:55All right, boys, this is it.
01:16:57Now just remember, when you've cleaned out that bank,
01:16:59don't forget to visit poor Mr. Bates.
01:17:01I want all of these people to think
01:17:02that I'm just another victim of these crooks.
01:17:05Yeah, you sure are smart.
01:17:07But do you think everybody in Tarset
01:17:09is really as dumb as that Bates?
01:17:10You let me worry about that.
01:17:12There's just one other person I have in mind
01:17:14and fixing her wagon is gonna be my job.
01:17:16All right, you know the plan.
01:17:19Five minutes to go.
01:17:20You better get ready.
01:17:26Hmm.
01:17:48Oh, there he is.
01:17:53All right, come on, empty your pockets.
01:17:55Hey, Fred, set up the bottles.
01:17:58All right, now listen, everyone.
01:18:00We have something really sensational this year.
01:18:05An absolute novelty for Dawson City.
01:18:08And now your host, Mr. William Bates.
01:18:13Hooray!
01:18:15Merry Christmas, everybody. Have a good time.
01:18:18We've arranged several treats for you and the first one is about to begin right now.
01:18:23Fireworks!
01:18:53Merry Christmas, everybody.
01:19:23Merry Christmas, everybody.
01:19:53Merry Christmas, everybody.
01:20:23Oh, no!
01:20:41All right, get your hands up.
01:20:49No tricks.
01:20:54Good boy, Box, come here.
01:20:59Come up, damn it. Come up!
01:21:08The dynamite! The dog's got the dynamite!
01:21:19Let go! Let go!
01:21:23Oh, no!
01:21:53Oh, no!
01:22:02A bunch of thugs just tried to rob the bank.
01:22:04My buddy's got two of them in the saloon. Let's go! Come on!
01:22:17Good work there, John.
01:22:24Well, Mackenzie, it seems you got here just in time to prevent the robbery.
01:22:28It could have ruined us all.
01:22:30These men will have to learn that they can't rob us and get away with it.
01:22:33I say let's hang them right now.
01:22:36And you'll hang with them, Bates.
01:22:39Now listen, everybody, listen to me. He planned this whole thing. It was his idea.
01:22:43While you were outside watching the fireworks,
01:22:45his men tried to clean out the bank of every ounce of gold that you've been sweating for all winter.
01:22:52Why don't you tell them what your men were doing in the bank, Bates?
01:22:55Why don't you shut up or...
01:22:57Or what? You'll kill me like you killed Hank Mackenzie?
01:23:17John!
01:23:21This time I'm settling our account for good, Bates.
01:23:28You don't scare me. Everybody knows that gun ain't loaded. I still got the winning card.
01:23:40Oh, no. That wasn't loaded.
01:23:43All right.
01:24:04Goodbye, son. I'll be back soon, I promise.
01:24:09Just another couple of months panning that river. We'll have enough on the farm.
01:24:14I'll miss you.
01:24:17Don't stay away too long. Dawson needs a man like you.
01:24:22So do I.
01:24:39Well, Jim, I gotta say goodbye now.
01:24:47Hey, where's Buck going?
01:24:50Buck! Buck! Come back! Buck!
01:24:54Jim, let him go.
01:24:57You've got to understand.
01:25:00You see, his life is out there with his own kind.
01:25:04You mustn't try to keep him.
01:25:09Don't worry, Jim. He'll be back one day to see you.
01:25:15I have to go. Look after the girls, huh?
01:25:19The sound of the wild
01:25:25Is the voice of nature's child
01:25:32Falling gently like summer snow
01:25:38Turning swiftly as rivers flow
01:25:45To the sea and the frozen sky
01:25:51And the haunting call
01:25:56Of the lone wolf's cry
01:26:00Oh, take my hand
01:26:05Together we will find the way
01:26:11We'll live our dreams from day to day
01:26:17And try to understand
01:26:23The sound of the wild
01:26:29There's a song that comes alive
01:26:36And the music is still the same
01:26:42As that first day when it came
01:26:48To the sea and the frozen sky
01:26:54And the haunting call
01:26:59Of the lone wolf's cry
