[RASPY BREATHING]
[SCREAMS]
[SCREAMING]
Jacques! What is it?
[SCREAMING CONTINUES]
Jacques! What did this thing?
I am not sure.
It was so fast
and he was so big.
A wolf?
It could not be a wolf.
He was so very big. Ma foi.
Look by your foot.
Never have I seen
such a giant footprint.
It can be but one thing.
And what is that, Blackie?
Loup-garou!
Oui. The werewolf.
[WOLF HOWLING]
How much further, Race?
Pretty soon, Jonny.
Boy, I never saw
such wilderness,
Hadji.
There's not a soul in miles.
Hello. Hello.
Jacques calling Pierre.
Calling Pierre.
Hello. Hello.
MAN: This is Pierre. Go ahead.
A truck carrying two
men and two boys
moving up toward River Road.
Bien. We will cover.
That is all.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hello, Pierre.
I told you never
to come in here.
The big boss's
orders are most plain.
Never mind about the big boss.
Why you double cross
me Blackie LaBlanche?
What do you mean?
The, uh, "wolf."
Why you put the wolf on me, eh?
Only three people
know I am the wolf.
The boss knows it, I know it,
and you know it.
Yes, I know it,
and the wolf attacked
the camp last night.
Maybe after Blackie, no?
The wolf was not out.
I was not out last night.
But
but Jacques saw him,
and the footprint.
Did you tell Jacques
I am the wolf?
No! No!
No!
That is good
for you.
I do not know what attacked you.
It was not me.
Now, get out,
and do not come in here again.
MAN: Yes, Pierre.
Why are you calling?
Another shipment of gold
is coming down tomorrow.
Good.
We'll send it as usual
with our regular
consignment of lumber.
We will intercept
at point three.
Is that all?
No. We've got snoopers.
Government agents?
I do not think so.
Get rid of them at all cost.
I want them out tonight.
Yes, sir.
Nothing must happen
to this gold operation.
It won't.
Blackie!
Oui?
We have a job to do.
What?
The snoopers. They
will leave tonight.
[LAUGHS]
You fellas in for the night?
Yes, Dad. 'Night.
Good night, doctor.
Where's Bandit?
Bandit?
Oh, he's around here someplace.
[BARKS]
Okay, Bandit.
Just checking.
Get a good sleep.
We have to get up
early in the morning.
Right, Dad. Night, sir.
We'll want to get an
early start tomorrow, Race.
Are the hovercraft checked out?
Yep.
I checked them both out.
They're loaded and ready.
Good.
Let's hope we find
what we're looking for,
and soon.
MAN: And what would that be?
Who's there?
I will ask the questions.
What are you looking for?
Who are you?
If it's any of your business,
my name is Dr. Quest.
We are here at the request
of the Ottawa Government.
We're looking
for a certain specimen
of petrified wood
known to be in this area.
You are trespassing, Dr. Quest.
You must leave now.
And how can we be trespassing
on government property?
I warn you, you must leave.
And I am telling you to get out.
Good night, gentlemen.
Very well, Dr. Quest,
but you will not
like this timberland.
It holds many dangers,
the worst of which
is loup-garou.
Loup-garou?
Beware, Dr. Quest,
of loup-garou.
Get out. Get out now!
You have been warned.
Remember, beware of loup-garou!
What's a loup-garou?
It's French for werewolf.
[BANDIT WHIMPERS]
Gosh. Werewolf!
There's no such
thing as a werewolf.
Now, come on,
let's get back to bed.
Besides, if there
were any around,
Bandit would take care of them.
[BANDIT YELPS]
[CHUCKLING] Good night, boys.
[CHOPPING]
Hey. Wonder what that is.
It's kind of late
to be chopping firewood.
Wow, was that an earthquake?
DR. QUEST: You boys all right?
Okay, Dad.
Boy,
that was too close for comfort.
Right between the tents.
Gosh, Dad,
they tried to crown us.
I don't think so, Jonny.
They're lumberjacks.
They can drop a tree on a pin,
if they want to.
Do you think they
missed us on purpose?
Right. I think it's a warning.
I wonder why.
And I wonder
what they're hiding.
Ready, doctor?
Ready.
You boys'll be safe here.
Stick close to camp.
Right, sir.
Okay, Dad.
And if there's any trouble,
get on that radio.
We'll come on the double.
Let's go, Race.
You lead off, sir.
Take care, fellas.
Hey, that looks like fun.
Let's have a race on them
when they get back.
Hello. Hello.
This is Jacques.
Go ahead.
The two men have
gone up the trail
toward Algonquin Hill.
Follow them.
The boys are in the camp.
Leave the boys alone.
Follow the men.
See what they look for.
If they go toward
the mine, call me.
[BARKING]
What is it, Bandit?
Maybe it's the loup-garou.
Loup-garou?
Well, stand by the radio
just in case, Hadji.
[BARKING]
Who is it? Come out!
Uh-oh.
A skunk.
What'll we do?
Well, nothing.
Stand still.
Don't scare him, Bandit.
We'll never get
the smell off you.
Easy, boy.
Nice, uh, skunk.
[SNIFFS]
[SNEEZES]
Hadji, back up, slow and easy.
Where are we going?
Just off to a safe distance.
Easy now, Bandit.
Don't do anything sudden.
[YELPS]
No, no, Bandit!
Don't run this way!
Wait! Not here!
Uh-oh.
I think Bandit's had it.
He's running away.
Well, we'd better find
him before he gets lost.
Come on.
Bandit! Here, boy!
Bandit!
Bandit! Here, boy!
Bandit!
You know, Jonny,
I think we are lost now.
I'm afraid you're right, Hadji.
Maybe camp is this way.
MAN: No, it is the other way.
Huh? Who are you?
I am White Feather.
This is Gray One.
A wolf!
Him wolf. Him friend.
Not like bad wolf.
Oh, the Loup-garou?
Him bad.
Gray One kill him
and drive fear from deep woods.
You go now to camp.
Father come back, find you gone.
Him worry.
How'd you know about my father?
White Feather friend
of animals in woods.
Know everything in woods.
You go now.
That way to river.
Bad men at river.
Look only for gold.
You go other way.
Okay, but
Hey, where'd he go?
He's gone!
Just like that!
Never have I seen anyone
move so quickly and silently.
We'd better do as he said.
Come.
Not yet, Hadji.
Huh?
Those guys last night,
they wanted us out for a reason.
Now, that Indian said there
are bad men at the river.
Well, maybe
there's a connection.
Let's have a look.
But if we are caught
Oh, we won't get caught.
We'll just have a look
and then we'll tell
Dad what we see.
Come on, let's go.
Besides,
maybe Bandit went that way.
Well, if you put it that way,
okay.
Looks like a logging camp.
There's no one there.
It must be abandoned.
JONNY: No, look,
up by that old shed.
Okay, that's enough gold
for this one.
Put the plug in
and be sure it's tight.
Right.
Okay.
Give me a hand with it.
Hey, Andre,
bring me another hollow
log for the rest of this gold.
Now heave!
They're gold smugglers.
How do you like that?
No wonder
they didn't want us
to camp near here.
Boy, what a set-up.
They send a bunch of logs
down the river
with that phony
log with the gold
in with them.
Then it's picked up downstream.
Let's go back
and report this to Dad.
Oh, yes?
You are going nowhere.
Hey, Blackie.
A couple of kid snoopers.
Bring them here!
This is Blackie calling Pierre.
Calling Pierre.
What is it?
We caught the two kids
from that camp.
They was spying.
What did they see?
We were loading the log
with a gold shipment.
They have seen that.
They have seen too much.
Lock them in the saw mill.
We'll take care of
the other two first.
Tie them securely.
They must not get away.
That is all.
It's no use.
I can't get loose.
Neither can I.
The rope is too tight.
What can we do?
We've got to warn Dad and Race.
There is still time.
We will get away somehow.
Well, you can't, kid,
so don't try.
When are you
gonna turn us loose?
Sorry, kid.
Should've minded
your own business.
You're not going
to get turned loose.
You'll be staying here forever.
[GRUNTS]
Hey. Who?
It's White Feather.
We go now.
Well, boy, are we
glad to see you.
You appear from nowhere.
How do you do it?
No talk now.
We go.
MAN: Hey, Jacques.
Blackie wants you.
Uh-oh.
Jacques, didn't you
hear? Blackie wants you.
Hey. Blackie, come here!
Somebody got Jacques,
and the kids are gone!
They've been cut loose.
Hey, you! Stop!
They got out the
other way, by the flume.
Stop them!
Where's White Feather?
He disappeared again.
Where do we go from here?
Look, Jonny!
Here comes our taxi.
Huh?
When it gets here, jump!
Now!
Where are they?
Look!
Yippee!
Ride 'em, cowboy!
Yahoo!
[GUNSHOTS]
I'll stop them!
Hey, we're in trouble.
What's the matter?
Look up ahead.
The flume's broke.
Hang on!
End of the line!
Jonny!
Are you all right?
[GUNSHOTS]
I will be,
as soon as we get
out of the range of that gun.
Both boys have escaped.
Can they be caught?
Blackie tried to shoot them.
There is to be no shooting.
Blackie is a fool.
What happens to them
must be an accident.
There is no time to lose.
You must get to camp
before those boys can warn them.
Go now, but go as loup-garou.
That is all.
Loup-garou, eh?
A pleasure.
[LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING]
Dr. Quest and his friend
will have a surprise tonight
from loup-garou.
[LAUGHS]
They should have
listened to my warning,
but now it is too late.
[LAUGHING WILDLY]
Oh, boy. What a ride.
I wonder where
White Feather went.
He sure can disappear
when he wants to.
White Feather here.
Gosh.
Where did he come from?
I wish I knew how you
do that, White Feather.
Wait.
[HOWLS LIKE A WOLF]
What was that?
Listen.
[WOLF HOWLING]
Me call Gray One.
Him come quick.
[HOWLING CONTINUES]
Are we far from my father,
White Feather?
Pretty far.
We run.
Faster than float on log.
When Gray One
come, we leave, go fast.
Boy, with hair like snow
and with red stone in head
must run like warrior.
We will.
[WOLF GROWLING]
Gosh.
It's the wolf.
HADJI: He is so big.
[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
Where'd he go?
Same place we go.
Him go faster.
Guard father till we get there.
Come.
DR. QUEST: It's too dark
to search anymore
tonight for the boys.
If the boys are just lost,
there's no need
to worry, doctor.
They're both good woodsmen.
Yes, if they are just lost.
Why don't you turn in, Race?
I'll keep a bright fire going.
They just may spot it.
I'm afraid I wouldn't
get much sleep anyway.
[RUSTLING]
What was that?
Jonny! Hadji!
Over here!
It was probably
just an animal, sir.
I guess you're right, Race,
but you can't blame me
for being over-anxious.
[CHUCKLES QUIETLY]
[WOLF GROWLS]
Uh-oh. We have company, doctor.
Can you reach your rifle, Race?
Getting it.
Look at the size of him.
Hey. He went right by us.
[SCREAMING]
Hold it, Race.
There's a man in there!
Help! Help!
Get him off! Get him off!
Get him off!
[SNARLING]
Help! Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help! Get him off!
Get him off! Get him off!
If I could just
get a clear shot.
[GUNSHOTS]
Look. I think he got away.
DR. QUEST: Yes,
but not far enough.
Help! Help! Help!
Aah!
[GROWLING]
Aah!
Now, Race. The wolf.
He may charge. Right.
Be sure you don't
just wound him.
He's dangerous enough as it is.
I can't miss at this distance.
Now a slow pull and
JONNY: No!
Don't shoot, Race!
Jonny! Hadji!
Don't shoot!
He's friendly.
Where have you boys been?
And who's your friend?
Well, this is White
Feather, Dad.
He saved our lives and
Well, uh
Dad, you'd better sit down.
It's a long, long story.
Thank you, White Feather.
I don't know what we'd have done
without you, and your, uh
wolf.
Gray One. Good friend.
He certainly saved
us from serious injury,
and we're grateful to you both,
and now the Mounties
have been called.
They'll capture that
"loup-garou" fella
and the rest of those criminals,
so how about some rest?
But, Dad,
where's Bandit?
We haven't seen him, Jonny.
But
But I've got to find him.
Gray One find
white dog with mask on.
[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
Boys sleep now.
Gray One find dog.
Okay, but
but tell me something,
White Feather.
Me tell.
How'd you find
us in that sawmill?
Beaver see you cross river,
him tell deer,
deer tell raccoon,
raccoon, him tell bird,
bird tell owl,
owl tell White Feather.
Oh, White Feather, come on now.
[WOLF HOWLING]
Wait. Listen.
[HOWLING CONTINUES]
[SNIFFS]
White dog come back.
Gray One not with him.
Huh?
Gray One not go near
white dog with black mask.
Why not?
No one go near
white dog with mask.
White Feather go
quick. See again.
Hey, wait! Why'd he go?
[BANDIT WHIMPERING]
Look, it's Bandit!
Hey. Hiya, boy!
Oh, gosh, I'm glad to see you.
What's the matter, Bandit?
Come here, boy.
[WHIMPERING]
DR. QUEST: Don't
call him, Jonny.
He's fine right where he is.
Huh?
Take a deep breath.
[COUGHS]
Oh, gosh, I see what you mean.
No wonder White Feather left.
Whew!
Bandit's been skunked!
JONNY: What do we do now?
DR. QUEST: You
always say he's your dog.
Yeah?
Then give him a bath. Quick.
Huh?
Who, me?
[BANDIT WHIMPERING]
Go on,
down to the river,
before we all suffocate.
Okay, but why me?
He's your dog.
But I'd like to know
one thing before I go.
What?
White Feather said
an owl told him
where Hadji and I were.
Did you ever hear of an owl
talking to a human being?
Ask him. He'll tell you.
Who-who-who!
You, that's who!
Who-who-who!
[DR. QUEST LAUGHS]
There's your answer, Jonny.
He was talking to you.
Okay, okay. I give up.
I believe.
Come on, Bandit.
Let's get some
soap and get to work.
Be sure you stay upwind of us.
DR. QUEST: See you
in a couple of hours.
Smells more like
a couple of weeks.
[WHIMPERING]
What are you crying about?
I'm the one that
should be crying.
Oh, boy.
Whew.
[WHIMPERS]
