A group of six doctors take their annual vacation together deep in the woods of Canada. At first it's all kidding around and fishing, until their boots disappear, critical to their survival. One of them sets off alone to find help, but the others are soon fighting for their lives against an unseen human menace. Eventually only two are left, and they attempt carry an injured friend by stretcher through hostile wilderness. They reach their destination, a dam, only to find it abandoned. The final showdown with their pursuer takes place in a cabin, where the Army training of the only survivor gives him an edge. Hal Holbrook is excellent in the lead in what must have been a grueling shoot. However, there is far too much unexplained coincidence and the plot quickly falls apart upon serious reflection.
