Whistler, a city boy, spends his summer vacation on his cousin Clinton’s farm with the dog Bouncer. There are chores, excursions, an accident, a boys’ newspaper, a fire set by an incendiary, a forest picnic and a midnight attack before the journey home, all shaped to show a boy who stays a real boy while growing truly manly.
