    James Langdon enjoys his practice of hunting bears in the forests of Canada, convinced that there are few greater thrills. However, as he sets out on a hunt for a towering grizzly bear, Langdon makes a stunning discovery. Different from the start, the hunt begins after the giant grizzly, who is named Thor, is injured by a hunter. While nursing his wounds, Thor meets a young black bear cub, who had recently been orphaned. Taking the young cub under his care, the two bears enjoy the peaceful riches of the Canadian wilderness, picking berries, fishing, and meeting other animals. However, Langdon is on their trail, and determined to kill Thor, hungry for the acclaim and the thrill of defeating such a large animal. But, when the three finally cross paths, they each find themselves surprised by their own instincts.

A rock could have appeared scarcely less lifeless than he; not a muscle twitched; not a hair moved; not an eyelid quivered. Yet every drop of the wild blood in his splendid body was racing in a ferment of excitement that Kazan had never before experienced; every nerve and fiber of his wonderful muscles was tense as steel wire..."
