A man with no appreciation for nature begins trapping near the home of old native, Charlie Three Claws (Gordon Tootoosis), and becomes enraged when Charlie begins springing his traps before animals can fall prey to them.
The trapper kills another trapper, who he feels is responsible for his lost pelts, and takes his weapon, the Dead Man's Gun. He then comes after Charlie Three Claws, and, after being forced at gunpoint to leave by Charlie's beautiful granddaughter, he returns and rapes her.
Charlie can not get justice from the local sheriff, who hates Indians even more than he hates the evil trapper, so he decides to get it on his own by summoning up an old friend, Jimmy the Dead Grizzly Bear.
