Jeremy and Gerard report the crime to the authorities, and now the miscreants plan to get even.

As the assault begins, Jeremy and Gerard are saved by the intervention of Game Warden Herman Gordon. Impressed by the honesty and integrity of the two little boys, Herman befriends Jeremy and Gerard and takes them to his special fishing spot and on a weekend camping trip. They form a special relationship that warms the hearts of their respective families.
