Program Description

The Hurons attack the evacuees as soon as they leave the fort. Magua captures Cora and Alice; David follows. Among the few survivors of the attack are Colonel Munro and Major Heyward. They are soon joined by Hawkeye and the Mohicans and quickly discover that Magua is taking the girls north to Canada. Despite repeated attacks by the Hurons, Hawkeye and his friends pursue Magua and his captives. The Huron leader splits his party. One warrior takes Alice; Cora tells David to follow her. David leaves his pitch pipe behind as a clue and it is found by Uncas. Two miles from the Huron village where Alice is being held, Hawkeye's party is met by David. The woodsman decided to split his group to rescue the sisters. Meanwhile, Uncas discovers that Cora is a prisoner in a nearby village of the Delaware tribe, a tribe that was once one nation with the Mohicans. Disguised as a wandering medicine man, Heyward enters the Huron village with David. In the meantime, Magua visits Cora. When he tells her she is dressed as a Huron bride, she begins to strip off the ornaments. He orders her whipped. Uncas is captured by the Hurons and Heyward and David watch as he is brought into the village. Heyward is asked to treat a Huron chief's daughter-in-law in the tepee where Alice is being held. Magua demands the death of Uncas. Source: WGBH archived promotional material.
