The Grahams from California, father Frank, mother Edna and two children, take a family vacation flying over the wilds of Alaska and Canada, where they encounter many wild animals, including cougars, bears and Rocky Mountain goats.

The Grahams from California, father Frank, mother Edna and children George, age 4 and Sheila, age 9, take a family vacation flying over the wilds of Alaska and Canada. During their various stops, they encounter many wild animals, including cougars, bears and Rocky Mountain goats. As family members film the vacation, they take pictures of native animals such as caribou, deer, whales and moose. Edna and Frank shoot two large bears, and Edna kills two large cougars using bow and arrow.

A family-affair wild-life documentary that follows George Graham and his family, wife Sheilah (who IS NOT the writer and Scott Fitzgerald paramour in any size, shape, form or fashion) and their young son and daughter, as they depart California for the Canadian north country well armed with guns and cameras. You have to have both to shoot animals, although wife Sheilah (still not the "Beloved Infidel" Sheilah) bags a couple of cougars with bow-and-arrows. Somebody somewhere thinks a real-life woman played by Deborah Kerr could do that? The kids get some cuddly scenes playing with some orphaned bear cubs, that might have still had parents if the Grahams hadn't been around.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
