Nine-year-old Bud and his five-year-old brother Temp dream of traveling through the Old West by horse. Their dreams come true when their dad, U.S. Marshall 'Catch-em-alive' Jack Abernathy gives them permission to go on a journey to the legendary Goodnight Ranch. It's 1909 so the West is still pretty wild and the boys have many adventures involving rattlesnakes, quicksand, and mirages. Based on a true story, this tale of the Abernathy brothers is quite exciting.
