The Eskimos' skill in capturing these ocean animals, weighing from one thousand to two thousand pounds. The picture shows every detail of these exciting adventures. It is a human interest drama and its intimate revelation of the strangest social and domestic conditions in the world make it a production of exceptionally wide appeal.
