In 1896, three American whalers are taken in by an Eskimo village in the Arctic after getting stranded in the ice during a hunt. While condescending officer Billy introduces the Inuits to gambling, black harpooner Portagee grows closer to the villagers as he gets used to a life without racism. Cabin boy Daggett becomes the most integrated in the community, falling in love with the clan leader's youngest wife.
