Plot
In the year 1925, Chun Man-duk, who was once a well-known top shooter in all of Korea, no longer hunts and lives in a hut in Mt. Jirisan with his teenage son, Seok. Meanwhile, the village is astir due to the Japanese soldiers\' arrival to find the great tiger, the last living tiger in Korea that is also known as the feared and respected Mountain Lord of Mt. Jirisan. Gu-kyung, head of the Korean hunters under the Japanese army, sets out on a heated hunt after the great tiger. Fascinated with tiger skins, Japanese dignitary Maejono is determined to get his hands on the great tiger before his return home, and pushes the Japanese soldiers and Korean hunters at Mt. Jirisan.
