Kevin Manley, a poor Canoga Park travel agent, is dismayed that he hasn't yet accomplished anything meaningful in his life, he arranging trips for others he knows he will never go on himself. He gets to kill two birds with one stone in quitting his job to travel to Anchorage, Alaska, for the reading of his grandfather Walter Manley's will. Kevin, the sole heir, learns that he will only inherit the estate if he completes the 1,000 mile Iditarod dog sled race, which starts in two days. After finding one specific possession belonging to his grandfather, Kevin decides to attempt the race against the odds, not so much for the estate, but more just to prove to himself that he is a "Manley" worthy of his grandfather's family name. He quickly learns that someone is trying to prevent him from completing that race. His first thought as to that person is a fellow competitor Bonnie Livengood, the granddaughter of his grandfather's former business partner, the two who eventually had a falling out. Kevin will eventually learn the person trying to thwart his attempt of completing the race is Clive Thorton, the lawyer handling the estate, Kevin believing for something of his grandfather's that Thornton wants for himself. Kevin's goals while in Alaska ebb and flow as he believes that there is a hidden treasure that his and Bonnie's grandfathers knew of, and as he starts to fall for Bonnie, who would have fallen for him if he was not a Manley.

| User Reviewtori rThis movie left me without words... Much better that you may expect |
| User ReviewRachel Jwhat a great movie! kinda reminded me of "Snow Dogs" with Cuba Gooding Jr. ... it's got the same principle behind it, a man inherits Alaskan land from a relative he never knew about, and then when he gets up there, has to run the Iditarod... but my guess is this was the one which didn't sell very well, so they did a remake of it with Cuba & released it with a different name. |
| User ReviewMary RCute Skeet Ulrich vehicle. Enjoyable fluff, though I wish the dogs had more screen time! |
| User ReviewNADINE Bits got dogs like i'm gonna mark it low! |
