When the picture opens we see Grey Owl, the backwoodsman, launching his canoe. Once on the water he calls and the beaver appears. This is followed by a flashback to the beginnings of the friendship. The baby beaver, left alone, is discovered by the man who brings it to his camp where he feeds him from a bottle. As the beaver grows, it learns to eat from a dish with its paws, cleaning and brushing itself thoroughly after each meal. Grey Owl does not want to domesticate the beaver, so when it meets a mate, he lets it go. There are several scenes of the two beavers in the water. Grey Owl slaps the surface with his paddle and his pet appears, climbs into the canoe for food. An excellent sequence shows beavers constructing a winter home. They drag branches from the stream and cut them with their sharp teeth. Finally, they bring mud up from the bottom of the stream to fill in the crevices and to seal it securely against all marauders. There are close-ups of this work. Written by Catalog of films for classroom use (1941) See less
