Synopsis:
In Alaska, Chief Grey Eagle and his two children are set adrift on an ice floe that is set to go over a waterfall and kill them. To keep his children calm, Grey Eagle tells the children the story of Strong Bow even though he himself does not believe that the indian warrior truly exists. In the story Strong Bow is the son of Chief Wise Owl who gives his son a mission to bring peace to tribes across the land. Before embarking on the mission, Strong Bow faces and completes many challenges to prove his worth.

As the ice floe nears the edge of the falls, Grey Eagle finishes his story. Then the chief and his children are rescued by Strong Bow. The warrior from the Misty Mountains explains that Grey Eagle's foe Crazy Wolf has been defeated, and the chief can safely return to his tribe with his kids.
