Little Willy has a big job to do. When his grandfather falls ill, it is
up to Willy alone to save their farm from the tax collector. But where
can a ten-year-old get five hundred dollars in a hurry? Then Willy sees
the poster for the National Dogsled Race.
The race pits Willy against the best dog teams in the country, including
the Indian Stone Fox and his five beautiful Samoyeds, who have never
lost a race. And Stone Fox wants the prize money as badly as Willy does.
Willy's dog, Searchlight, is every bit as fast as the competition, and
Willy knows the terrain better than anyone. But can one boy and one dog
be a match for the unbeatable Stone Fox?
