Lumpy blend of adventures , action , villainy , though needlessly violent and aimed to young people . The film is loosely based on the novels by Jack London : ¨White fang¨ , ¨Wild call¨ , and by Edgar B. Cooper based on ¨Story Pioneers and Gold-Seekers¨ , though differ significantly from the books but this is an invented version , however remains the essential elements as the young-dog friendship , the gold rush , spectacular outdoors and locations and several moving scenes . The talent of diverse and wasting casting is redeemed in part for the spectacular outdoors filmed on gorgeous landscapes . It's a below average adventure movie that maintains the charm and exciting style of the previous Alaskan films but still makes for decent juvenile amusement . Weak screenplay that contains some flaws and gaps from Piero Regnoli and Giuseppe Maggi .Worthwhile watching for a demonstration of the confrontation between Robert Woods and Robert Hundar as the greedy , rich owner and his hired hands with some looks that say it all , including an exciting ending . Mediocre performances for the whole casting . Stars Robert Woods , he is passable , he ravages the screen , he jumps , leaps and bounds , hits and runs ; besides , receiving violent punches , kicks and wounds . Robert starred several Tortilla/Ravioli Western as "Five Thousand Dollars on One Ace" , "Seven Guns for the MacGregors" , ¨Four Dollars for Vengeance" , "Four Candles for Garringo" or "My Colt, Not Yours" ¨Black Jack¨, ¨El Puro¨, "Gatling Gun" , among others . Remaining cast is formed by some familiar faces from Spaghetti as Andrea Fantasia , Benito Pacifico , Nello Pazzafini and the usual Robert Hundar . Atmospheric and catching musical score by Alessandro Alessandroni . The producers express gratitude to the Allevamento Del Samdedo Di Casa Presenzano and to Isabella Del Dalzo author of the book El Santiedo E Alture Razze Nordiche for his collaboration .
