I was seven years old when this originally aired. I clearly remember how creepy it was!
The Monroes' homestead is set upon by an unseen animal that destroys their food and supplies, and kills their calf. The only clue is a paw-print that frightens Jim, who calls it "Carcachoo" or forest devil.
All efforts to trap or kill the creature prove futile. A local rancher is able to identify the animal as a wolverine, and puts a $50 bounty on it to protect his cattle.
The animal is only shown briefly, and mostly the audience sees shots from its point of view, accompanied by growls and heavy breathing. This adds to the suspense.
