Hundreds of Beavers

In the 19th century, a down-and-out applejack salesman finds himself at a crossroads in life. Known more for his drinking than his business acumen, he lives a life of mediocrity, selling his wares to indifferent townsfolk. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when he learns of a lucrative opportunity in the fur trapping industry. Determined to turn his life around, he sets out on an audacious journey to become North America’s greatest fur trapper.

The salesman faces a formidable challenge: to defeat hundreds of cunning beavers, known for their intelligence and resourcefulness. With no experience in trapping, he must quickly learn the ways of the wilderness, mastering the art of tracking and setting traps while contending with the elements and the treachery of nature.

Along the way, he encounters a motley crew of characters, including seasoned trappers who initially see him as a joke, a wise old hermit who becomes his mentor, and a group of rival trappers who will stop at nothing to see him fail. Through trials and tribulations, he discovers his inner strength and resilience, gradually earning the respect of those around him.

As he battles against the beavers, he learns not only the skills of trapping but also valuable lessons about friendship, perseverance, and the importance of believing in oneself. Each encounter with the clever beavers challenges him to think creatively and adapt, leading to unexpected victories and heartwarming moments.

Ultimately, this journey transforms him from a drunken salesman into a legendary figure in the world of fur trapping. As he navigates the challenges of the wilderness, he discovers that true heroism lies not in fame or fortune, but in the courage to face one’s fears and rise above adversity. With newfound purpose, he strives to become not just a successful trapper, but a hero in his own right.
