The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a story that follows a legendary American war veteran named Calvin Barr (Elliott). Decades after serving in WWII and assassinating Adolf Hitler he must now hunt down Bigfoot.

Barr was living a peaceful life in New England before being contacted by the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In the story, Bigfoot is said to be carrying a deadly plague and is hidden deep inside the Canadian wilderness.
