George, an eskimo boy, has heard tales of a giant polar bear that frightens away even the bravest hunters. His dream is to hunt the bear and chase it away forever.

Tarrak, a little polar bear cub, has heard tales of a giant hunter. His dream is to find the great hunter and frighten him away forever.

When spring shadows are longest, each sees each other's shadow running off in opposite direction! Happily, George and Tarrak believe they have frightened away the other.
