Done in black and white, this film captures the era. Summer adventures of a young farm boy and his tomboy friend as he tries to deal with helping his dad and brother make a living on a failing dairy farm. Behind the scenes, dad is trying to cope with being a single parent, keeping the dairy farm going and paying the bills. Join Walter as he enters a local fiddle contest to win the prize and help out his dad. All action is staged in natural surroundings as Walter speeds down a dirt road on a rickety bike, jumps across the top of a working hay baler while being pursued by a devious neighbor, and clambers about the hay mow to save his life. Being raised on a farm strengthens one's problem solving skills. See this in action as Walter encounters more challenges than any young boy should have to face in a life time.
