The Trap

Fur trapper Jean La Bête (Oliver Reed) and his foster-child Eve (Rita Tushingham) arrive at the seaport to fetch mail and consumer goods. Two Canadian Indians, Yellow Dog and No Name, have told the trader that La Bete is dead. The trader's wife seizes the opportunity to offer her foster child for a thousand dollars to the simple-minded, rough-cut trapper. The mute girl explains that her inability to speak is caused from the shock she suffered when she had to witness how her parents were barbarously murdered several years ago.
