Synopsis
To a pioneer settlement, in 19th-century British Columbia, Jean La Bête, after 3 years of trapping, returns with a rich haul of fur. Eager to find a wife, he is too late for the once-a-year auction of castoff women offered to settlers for cash. In exchange for money owed him by the settlement trader, however, La Bête takes the trader's mute, orphaned housekeeper, Eve, for his wife; and they proceed by canoe northward to his cabin. Eve serves him well, tends to him after his leg has been crushed in one of his traps, but cannot reconcile herself to life with La Bête or the primitive backwoods. After Eve has been forced to amputate La Bête's gangrenous leg, he awakes one morning, discovers her gone, and suddenly, he realizes his emotional dependence on the mute woman. Returning to the settlement after being rescued from rapids by Indians, Eve agrees to marry the trader's clerk. But on the wedding day she is not to be found: she has gone back to La Bête.
