In a famine-stricken section of Kentucky, the mountain people are forced to turn out their dogs. One dog, which becomes the leader of a foraging dog pack, is known as The Grey Ghost. Ben, a bully, and Steve, his shy and gentle half brother, vie for the attentions of Janet, their new schoolmistress, who likes Steve but considers him cowardly for enduring the children's' taunts. The Grey Ghost is injured in an attack and hides near a stream where little Davey is fishing. He permits the boy to bathe his wound and feed him. They secretly become friends, and The Grey Ghost saves the boy from an attack by the pack. In a jealous frenzy, Ben turns the farmers against Janet, then ties her to a canoe headed for the rapids. The Grey Ghost saves Steve from an attack by Ben and rescues Janet. All ends happily.
