Two youngsters set out with a newly-rescued polar bear cub to find their pilot father, whose plane went down while flying medical supplies to remote settlements in Alaska's vast wilderness. Along the way, the brother-sister-bear team must face not only hazards of Mother Nature, but a vengeful poacher who wants his bear cub back.
