Famous singer Andy Rance, unlucky in love and life, decides to forsake the civilized world and heads into the wilderness with his faithful dog, Flash. As they enter the great western wilderness, Andy makes camp and begins to make peace with the world once more. Flash, on the other hand, is still a city dog at heart, and finds nothing but trouble in the wild. His recklessness, however, leads him to save his master's life when a poisonous snake crawls into Andy's sleeping bag, only to be killed by Flash before it can strike. Later on, Andy is listening to the radio when he is struck by a young girl's singing voice. In spite of himself, Andy soon finds himself joining the singer in a duet. The next day, Andy is off in search of wild game when he is attacked by two wolves. Treed, Andy is saved once again by Flash who kills the male wolf. The female, however, becomes immediately enamored by Flash and the dog is torn between his carnal lust and his duty to his master. Flash then stays with Andy during the day, but visits the female wolf each night, as Andy begins to understand that the desire for female companionship has followed both of them into the wilderness. The next day, a young girl, Celeste, is forced to parachute into Andy's wilderness when her plane runs out of fuel. Andy rescues the girl from the lake in which she lands and offers her his shelter for the night, while he takes his sleeping bag to the beach. Despite her beauty, Andy is upset by the presence of Celeste, whom he feels is an invasion of his privacy. Andy agrees to help the girl cross the lake and mountain to her grandfather's lodge, where she plans to spend the summer. At the lodge, Andy takes an immediately liking to Celeste's grandfather, a blind violinist. As he is about to leave, Andy spots an old record player and records of the mysterious girl whose voice he has fallen in love with over the radio. Andy is shocked when Celeste sings along with the record and he discovers that she is the same lady. Celeste then admits that she is a well-known radio artist who uses an alias when working professionally. Unable to fight his romantic urges any longer, Andy stays at the lodge for several days to court his new love. Flash, meanwhile, disappears into the forest to enjoy the company of his female friend. Andy finally realizes that he cannot run away from civilization, so he returns with Celeste, Flash, the female wolf and their newborn half-breed puppies.
