Kaar shares his life experience with Youk, who gradually learns about the dangers of life. The cub will have to face many adventures as well as men with guns. Tom the hunter (Cheky Karyo) and his sinister accomplice Bill the trapper (Jack Wallace) prowl the forest. Captured and separated from his protector, Youk wins over Tom, who gradually sees his prey in a new light.
