The Capture of Grizzly Adams (1982)

Starring: Dan Haggerty, Kim Darby, Noah Beery

Inspired by the 1976 feature film, "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams", the 1977-78 series about the fictional mountain man, played by Dan Haggerty, proved to be a popular family-oriented program -- although not garnering ratings high enough to warrant renewal -- and ended with Grizzly heading for the hills as a fugitive. This two-hour followup movie finds him jeopardizing his freedom by coming out of the hills to save his young niece from being sent to an orphanage after her mother's death.
