Through a series of different "masters," Buck learns to survive "the law of club and fang" by using his instincts and cunning. After his final and friendliest master, John Thornton, is killed by Indians, Buck succumbs to the call of the wild, severs all ties with civilization, and runs free with a wolf pack.
