An invitation to launch a big dogsled race brings Miss Mallard and Willard to Alaska. But the invitation is as much a mystery as the arrival of The Totem Avenger who has been causing havoc in the township, and who kidnaps a puppy during the dogsled race time trials. No one seems able to stop The Totem Avenger, even the local sheriff. And that is all part of the villains' plot to take over a wilderness preserve and mine it for gold.
