action

Canada, at the beginning of the 20th century: a playground and a hard time for gold prospectors from all over the world. A merciless family led by Mama Dalton raids their camp and kills many of the men; She also assaults a trapper, Natty, who is traveling with his son Kevin, and steals their wolfhound. The boy remains injured, is nursed back to health by a gold prospector and his black partner and receives a magical amulet from an old Indian. On the advice of a sergeant from the Canadian Mounties, he pursues his father, who has fought alone, and the criminal family and tracks them down in the middle of a disreputable event in which they want the dog to fight a bear. With the help of the amulet and the sergeant, he can set the gang and bring it to justice.
