**SPOILERS** Having saved a sled dog from being torn apart in a savage dog fight trapper Albert Johnson, Charles Bonson, get's involved in a shooting, in self-defense, that has the Royal Mounted Canadian Police sent to arrest him. The head of the Mounties in the district, the northern Yukon, Sgt.Edger Millen, Lee Marvin,is anything but interested in capturing Johnson feeling that he killed one of those trappers who were out to kill him. The group lead by Hazel, Ed Lauther, who's dog Johnson saved now were determined to track down and kill Johnson feeling that he's the notorious "Mad Trapper" that everyone in law enforcement north of the Mason Dixon line are looking for.
Johnson a loner who wants nothing to do with the outside world ends up being chased up the Yukon wilderness as he tries to make it to safety in the inaccessible wilds of Alaska. It' during the chase that were introduced to the real "Mad Trapper" who Johnson is mistaken for. This lowlife, the "Mad Trapper", has a habit of murdering his unsuspecting victims and then pulling their gold teeth or fillings out of their mouths.
Together on the hunt, for Johnson, with the no so interested Sgt. Millen is his new deputy the Dudley Do-Right-like Constable Alvin Adams, Andrew Stevens, and Millen's sidekick the former Negro League star pitcher Sundog or George Washington Lincoln Brown Played by Carl Weathers. Millen who's been cooped up in the Youkon for years has finally gotten romantically involved with an attractive American woman Vanessa McBride, Angie Dickerson, compared to the Eskimo hookers, that he calls buffalo women, that he's used to partying around with. Venessa who had come up north to pick up her dead husbands things, his watch and trapping license, fell heads over heels for the weather beaten and dog-faced Sgt. Millen who, with the exception of Constable Adams, was about the only normal and sane man in the area. That despite his constantly guzzling down bottle after bottle or rat gut moonshine and smoking notoriously smelly home made cigars.
It also turned out that the frustrated Hazel, who had everything going wrong for him in the movie, looking to get some hot action for himself, in the freezing and unfriendly Yukon winter, took an enormous liking to the very cute and boyish Constable Adams. As expected Hazel ended up, after Adams cold cocked him, almost six feet under when he got a wee bit touchy feely with the young Mountie.
****SPOILERS**** With all the efforts to catch him that included a WWI vintage airplane, Johnson did make it to the safety of the Alasken border but only after knocking off almost all those in Sgt. Millen's posse who were trying to both kill and capture him for a reward of $1,000. As we soon learned Johnson wasn't the ghoulish "Mad Trapper" that almost everyone accused him of being. It was both Sgt. Millen and Constable Adams who, with the help of Johnson, unwittingly tracked the "Mad Trapper" down and finally ended his reign of terror in the northern territories.
