A scout named Westy joins his friends and a film manager on a camping trip along the Santa Fe Trail where outdoor pursuits, local legends, and unexpected hazards test their skills. They befriend Lola, a self-reliant tomboy who lives nearby, and face episodes of getting lost, dangerous river lore, sudden fires, and daring rescues that call upon scouting resourcefulness and courage. The narrative moves through suspenseful incidents, personal struggles, and small discoveries before the party resolves the mysteries encountered and makes a safe return home.
