A terrible disease has struck the town of Nome, Alaska. Five people are dead, and many more will die unless the doctor can get supplies of fresh serum within a week!

How can anyone get the miracle serum across the 600 miles of trackless snow and ice--from the railroad terminal to Nome--in time to save the stricken town? An incredible true story!
