"If stranded in the bush in winter, a person's best chance of reaching civilization safely, lies in attracting the attention of passing airplanes as quickly as possible. This film dramatizes just such an operation—the snowmobile out of gas, the traveller deciding what to do, then making different kinds of distress signals to attract airplanes."
