Even the mighty Davy Crockett can't stay alert forever on the Kentucky frontier, and he learns this lesson when a young Native American brave catches him napping with mischief in mind.

In 1775, Hawkeye returns home to his mother's cabin along the Iroquois Trail with his tribal brother Sagamore, only to discover that his younger brother Tom has been ambushed and left for dead by traitors posing as British soldiers—an act that sets Hawkeye on a burning quest for revenge.

Davy Crockett spends a day observing the wildlife of the frontier woods, encountering raccoons, deer, snakes, porcupines, and other creatures as he moves quietly through their domain.

As evening falls and his campfire glows, Crockett finds unexpected companionship in the silent watch of his forest neighbors.
