The story

During a banquet, legendary football coach "Pop" Warner delivers a speech praising Jim Thorpe, which leads to a flashback. Young Jim Thorpe runs home before his first day at an Indian reservation school, but his father convinces him to return, telling him that he wants his son to make something of himself. Years later, Jim attends Carlisle Indian Industrial School, where his roommates are fast-talking Ed Guyac and the huge Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear.
