What happens

Arctic Fury is a 1949 American adventure film directed by Norman Dawn and Fred R. Feitshans Jr. and written by Charles F. Royal, Norton S. Parker, Robert Libott and Frank Burt. The film stars Alfred Delcambre, Eve Miller, Gloria Petroff, Dan Riss, Merrill McCormick and Fred Smith. The film was released on May 4, 1949, by RKO Radio Pictures. Arctic Fury is an updated version of the film Tundra (1936), which starred Alfred Del Cambre (billed as "Del Cambre"). Tundra, like other films produced by the Edgar Rice Burroughs-Tarzan company, was filmed on location under primitive and sometimes treacherous conditions. Norman Dawn staged the action, serving as director and co-photographer. In 1949 director-film editor Fred Feitshans, Jr. prepared a remake to be produced in Hollywood, using many of the arctic action sequences from the original Tundra. Co-stars Alfred Delcambre and Merrill McCormick were hired to repeat their former roles in new scenes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
