About
When Blackie Blacavov and his sister Barbara inherit 50,000 acres of Alaskan wilderness, he tries to live a more harmonious, natural existence on the land. But Barbara, without informing Blackie, gives mining exploration rights to King, a businessman with a passion for hunting wolves. On the sly, King also uses the area as a toxic waste dump. So Blackie and Barbara join together with the wolves to defeat their common enemy and save the idyllic refuge.
