Only trouble is that Indian-hating Uncle Wilse (Wendell Corey) will not let the boy be. Snarling like a Ferrari in low gear, Uncle Wilse calls the boy an "Indian savage," uses his bearskin as a rifle target, finally shoots in hot blood an Indian who was on his way to visit the boy. Disgusted with the white man's ways, MacArthur returns to the tepee and joins his mates on the warpath. But at the last minute, will his white corpuscles subdue his red?

A third was a get-away-from-it-all weekend house on the pampas south of Buenos Aires, fitted out with a fencing court and white bearskin rugs.

...stew. The host would often perform a ceremony roughly equivalent to lighting a cigar with a $100 bill: he ladled out the savory fish oil onto the fire. The stoic guests proved themselves unimpressed by sitting motionless even when the flames blistered their legs and set fire to their bearskin robes...
