Weedon is going out of town, and he leaves Wendy in the care of Mrs. Jenkins, who is also taking care of another young girl, Susan Simpson. A large bear causes havoc in the wild, almost injuring a wolf cub from White Fang's pack. Unhappily confined, Wendy and Susan run away, and a very worried Sgt. Oakes and Matt must form a search party to find them. Wendy and Susan find themselves caught in a dead end when the bear attacks. White Fang must hold the bear off until Sgt. Oakes and Matt come to the rescue. Wendy and Susan regret running away, and the young cub promises to wait patiently until he is big enough to go on the hunt.
