During the Great Depression, Danny (Lon McCallister) leaves his home in the East and heads to his late mother's childhood ranch in Utah, where he struggles to help out his Uncle Gil (Forrest Tucker). And though he's soon caught up in a long-standing feud between local ranchers, Danny's biggest challenge comes from a mountain lion that's prowling the area. Peggy Ann Garner, Preston Foster and Skip Homeier co-star in this adventure classic.
