Dakota Territory, Winter 1877/78. Big Angy is a wolf
trapper, with the nickname Wolfer. He is a good friend of the Oglala-Indians.
He has long promised to marry the squaw Mountain Flower, who shares his life in
his hut. When two cowboys rape and kill Mountain Flower, Angy swears to take
revenge. He follows them through a cold winter landscape and on his way meets a
wide variety of westerners. Finally he finds the scoundrels in a small
settlement. But because he is a nice guy, he obliges to the saloon-owner’s
request not to raise any trouble and doesn’t immediately confront them.
Eventually he faces the cowboys in a show down, enraging the saloon-owner, who
believes that the cowboys could have shown him the way to a goldmine.
This rare film was shown on Swiss television sometime in
1982, but was never released on video or DVD. A longer version with added
footage was re-released in 1979 at 114 minutes.
