Clint Keys (James Garner) is a hunted man. On the run from the Cavalry, where he faces a hangman's noose for mutiny and desertion charges, he makes a frantic attempt to fade into the vast desert countryside. His conspicuous companions? "Rosie," an ill-tempered camel, her offspring, and a 10-year-old runaway boy (Clay O'Brien). Additional complications arise when they encounter a pioneering widow (Vera Miles) and her young daughter (Jodie Foster) who must choose between aiding the unlikely fugitives -- or hampering their desperate flight.|Actor Clay O'Brien wanted the part of Mark so badly, he showed up for auditions in full Indian costume and a black wig.|The production was plagued by mishaps: lightning hit the plane flying the cast and crew into Kanab, Utah, flooding occurred, the truck containing all of the props caught on fire destroying both the props and the truck, and Jodie Foster sprained her ankle!
