- On 16 Sep 1941, stranger Michael Banyan treks from the Alaskan interior into the small town of Sunivak, Alaska, and is treated with suspicion by the locals. General store owner Hilary Higgins pressures Banyan for information about his summer activities, as he believes that Banyan is a prospector, but Banyan refuses to divulge any information about himself. The townsfolk grow more hostile to Banyan upon learning that he is broke, for the town's supplies are shipped in only twice a year and there is little to spare for an impecunious stranger. Banyan finds two friends in Laurie Lane, who runs the weather station, and barber and newspaper printer Clem Adams, who offers Banyan shelter. Banyan's trouble increases, however, when he is fined fifty dollars for striking Higgins' brutish son Hugo, even though the altercation arose from Banyan's attempt to stop Hugo from beating his dog Flash. Because he cannot pay the fine, Banyan is sentenced to hard labor until 1 October, when the twice-yearly mail boat arrives. Banyan escapes rather than be sent away on the boat, and Laurie and Clem keep him hidden in the weather station. Laurie begins to doubt Banyan though, when her radio is sabotaged so that it can only send messages and not receive them. Although Sunivak is now completely cut off from the outside world, the townspeople carry on as always. Hoping to restore Laurie's faith in him, as well as help out Clem and take his revenge on the callous townspeople, Banyan prints a fake Seattle newspaper, which proclaims that the U.S. has joined World War II, and that Clem is the winner of a thirty-thousand dollar sweepstakes. Banyan gets his Eskimo friend, Willie Soba, to take the paper to Higgins, who immediately offers to buy Laurie's abandoned mercury mine, for he knows that mercury will become a valuable war material. Higgins also buys a half-interest in Clem's sweepstakes ticket, and Clem pays off Banyan's fine with his newfound wealth. The townsfolk also begin serious war preparations, with Laurie in charge of the Red Cross first aid classes, cannery owner Albert Ness plotting out emergency defenses and everyone else pitching in. Banyan cannot take their efforts seriously, however, and when he disobeys one of Ness's orders, he is brought to trial for treason. When Banyan points out the flaws in Ness's plans, his clear reasoning persuades the townspeople to put him in charge of their defenses. Banyan organizes the efforts more efficiently and begins a program to train dogs for war work. Winter passes with everyone working hard, but due to the absence of incoming news, they are unaware of the attack on Pearl Harbor and that the U.S. really is at war. The only person who does know is Ness, a collaborator who stole the receiving tube from Laurie's radio and has been in constant communication with the Japanese, helping them to plan an attack on Sunivak. Meanwhile, Banyan grows nervous about the upcoming arrival of the spring mail boat, and confesses his deception to Laurie. Hoping to save his friends from disgrace, Banyan leaves, but when Higgins sees a real Seattle newspaper, he withdraws his offers to buy Laurie's mine and Clem's ticket. As Banyan is mushing away from Sunivak, he sees Ness welcoming a Japanese landing party and helping them load their machine guns into dogsleds. The enemies chase Banyan, but he gains enough of a lead to warn Laurie, then races into town. The citizens refuse to believe him at first, but when Willie, who has been shot by the Japanese, confirms his story, Banyan whips his well-prepared "troops" into action. Laurie sends out an S.O.S., which is picked up by the Air Force, and the townspeople and their dogs successfully defend Sunivak under Banyan's direction. Ness captures the weather station, but Banyan fights him off, and Flash subdues Ness's Japanese ally. Soon after, the Air Force planes fly overhead on their way to sink the Japanese submarine, and Banyan embraces Laurie while Clem broadcasts a message that the defenses of Sunivak are holding.

Before she leaves, however, she witnesses Jim and his Eskimo assistant Joe deliver Mrs. Bearfat Tillicoot's baby by a Caeserian section. Anne is deeply impressed by Jim's dedication as he use his own blood to give Mrs. Tillicoot a life-saving transfusion. That night, Joe's wife Koda pleads with Anne to stay, but she remains firm in her resolve, even though she is again impressed by Jim's kindness to his patients. She watches as he refuses payment from a miner, whose dying partner was able to end his life quickly with the drugs that Jim left for him to use if he wished. The next day, Anne is about to leave when U.S. Marshal Bill Bogler arrives with Ninimook, an Eskimo Bogler arrested for fur theft. During their struggle, Bogler had fractured Ninimook's skull, and he now demands that Jim save the man's life. Anne assists as Jim performs the dangerous brain surgery, but she leaves as Ninimook convalesces. After she is gone, Jim is needed to attend the Tillicoot baby, but is forced to stay with Ninimook. Jim warns Bogler that he will be held responsible if the Eskimo dies, but Ninimook soon recovers. As Bogler is praising Jim's surgical skill, he mentions a Dr. Gary Currier, a brilliant surgeon who fled Seattle five years earlier after being arrested for the euthanasic death of his terminally-ill father, who was also a prominent physician. Jim shrugs off Bogler's intimations, although he is in fact Currier, then goes to visit the Tillicoots. There he finds Anne, who, having chosen to say, has been tending the ill baby for two days. Jim is delighted to see her, and as the pair return to his house, their mutual attraction becomes obvious. When they arrive, Jim is forced to admit that he is Currier, and Bogler arrests him. Jim pleads with Anne to look after his patients until another doctor arrives, then leaves with Bogler. Joe and Anne follow them and help Jim escape with the aid of his lead sled dog, Blitzen. While Jim is in hiding, he reveals to Anne that his father committed suicide and that he accepted the blame in order to protect his father's reputation. Bogler is overcome by snow blindness while he is chasing Jim, and despite the danger to his own life and freedom, Jim tends to Bogler and restores his eyesight. Grateful for the doctor's help, Bogler grants Jim his freedom, and Jim and Anne celebrate with Joe and Koda.
