Plot: The narrative describes a 19th-century fur hunter who suffered injuries at the hands of a bear. His ship's captain attempted to return him to civilization, but the circumstances made it impossible. As a result, he was compelled to pay two men to stay to allow them to send the hunter on his final voyage. These two men, though, were greedy with money. After robbing the poor injured man, they left him to perish by himself in the icy woods. But by some miracle, the hunter lived and started looking for the two guys to get revenge.
