Life is hard. It's the Depression. Jo's dad has lost the farm and become a fruit picker. At the pickers' camp Jo befriends Carlos after he is abandoned by his mean stepdad Shorty. But now Shorty wants him back-or else!

Hiding from Shorty, Carlos and Jo team up with Dort and her little sister Tiny, and brothers John, Jerry, and Jim. They share a spud roast, a wild ride on old Watermelon George's horses, a benefit talent show to raise $100 for an operation for Dort's mother, and several close encounters with Norman, the local bully.

Jo narrowly escapes kidnaping by Shorty, and the fruit tramp kids end up in a desperate race to outrun Shorty in his truck. But danger gives way to grace. This is Christian adventure at its finest!
