Production history

Bosworth previously made a one reel version of the story at Selig directed by Sidney Ayres.[4] It was never released officially. The Balboa company also made a competing version and was sued by author Jack London who had it removed from theatres.[5] Bosworth formed his own company, hired Jack London himself as a cast member, and made this 7 reel version. It was not released until London's legal dispute with the Balboa company was over. In February 1914 W.W. Hodkinson released the film commercially.
