This is an interesting, but cheaply made adventure film about the Alaska territory in the 1930s. The protagonist crashes his plane and goes down into the icy waters of the Alaska tundra. Normally, this would result in hypothermia and certain death, but this is the movies. He survives, befriends two bear cubs, and then wonders why he is always being hounded by mama bear (duh). The film appears to have been shot for around $99.99 or so. Despite its many flaws, still watchable.

wasn't a bad picture for its time

A great adventure picture that I saw when I was an elementary student during WW11. I saw it in school and still remember it being loads of fun and adventure for all of us in that crowded auditorium during the dark days of the war.
Alfred Delcambre did all of his own stunts

Warning: Spoilers
This silent, black and white film is based on a true story about the "Flying Doctor." Filmed in a Canada, Alfre does all of his own stunts including swimming in icy waters fully dressed and coming face to face with bears and a mountain lion. My second cousin is the main character in this 1936 movie. My mothers recounts many stories of his life-time successes. He was known as "Big Del" because of his height and the difficulty with people pronouncing his Cajun last name. His younger brothers were known as "Middle Del" and "Little Del," though they were all over 6 feet tall. He was very handsome and athletic, playing Center field position on the winning team of All Stars college football from SMU in Dallas (unsure which year).
