The basic story echoes that of the 1937 film Captains Courageous, adapted from a novel by Rudyard Kipling, although in the desert rather than at sea. [1]

Plot

Chester Graham Jr., the spoiled young son of a wealthy railroad owner, is lost in the middle of nowhere when he wanders away from a train during a water stop. He is found by a cowboy who is driving cattle. Lucky to be alive, Chester accompanies the cowboys and learns the value of hard work, self-discipline and comradeship on the trail to Santa Fe.
