Hawkeye and Chingachgook are checking their trap lines when they are set upon but a band of Huron warriors. They lose their furs but manage to escape with their scalps. While deciding how to retrieve their furs the two come across a wagon train. Hawkeye warns them of the danger they are in but is ignored. Needless to say the nasty Hurons' attack and Hawkeye and Chingachgook come to the rescue. They lead the settlers to safety , then straighten out the Hurons with a couple of left hooks and a tomahawk to the head. Great fun. Lon Chaney as Chingachgook looks like he is about to pass out after every 3-4 steps. The long time drinking must have been getting the best of him by this time. The show does feature real outside location shooting which is an added bonus. A harmless Sat morning type kids show.
