He marries sweetheart Vida Downey (Vera Miles) and embarks on a lifelong roller-coaster ride as a scoutmaster to a steady stream of high-spirited youngsters. Set against lovingly recreated scenes of 1930s America, this family classic shines with all the warmth and humor of Disney entertainment at its nostalgic best.|The movie marks Kurt Russell's Disney film debut, as Whitey.|Variety wrote, "The production catches the spirit of rural America in the '30s with moving charm, blending comedy, drama, and romance in a buildup toward an emotionally charged climax."
