Lem's traveling-band bus stops in a small town, where he immediately takes up with the boys in the town and decides to stay, even getting a job at a general store that has a large candy counter that is popular with the boys. Then at the town meeting, he suggests the town needs a scout troup, and volunteers his service as scout master, and the town gleefully accepts. He takes a special interest in Whitey, a troubled boy (Kurt Russell) with an alcoholic father, who wants nothing to do with the scouts, and whom he later catches breaking into the general store. Lem eventually turns the boy around, and marries the pretty bank clerk, and they take in Whitey when his father dies. He considers resigning from the Scout Leader position, and Whitey considers running away, after an incident on a cliff when the boy is put in charge of the troup. Years pass and the original troop members become adults, and a new set of boys are accidently caught up in some military war games. And Lem subsequently ages, and is honored for his service. 　　译文(2): 莱姆的旅行乐队巴士停在一个小镇上，在那里他立即和镇上的男孩们交往，并决定留下来，甚至在一家杂货店找到了一份工作，那里有一个很大的糖果柜台，很受男孩们的欢【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。然后在镇民大会上，他建议镇上需要一个童子军团，并自愿担任童子军团长，镇上欣然接受了。他对怀特尼特别感兴趣，一个问题少年(库尔特 · 拉塞尔饰)有一个酗酒的父亲，他不想与童子军有任何瓜葛，后来他发现怀特尼闯入了杂货店。Lem 最终让这个男孩改过自新，娶了一个漂亮的银行职员，他们在 Whitey 父亲死后收留了他。他考虑辞去童子军队长的职务，而怀蒂则考虑逃跑，因为在悬崖上发生了一起事故，当时这个男孩被任命为童子军队长。几年过去了，原来的部队成员变成了成年人，一群新的男孩意外地卷入了一些军事战争游戏。莱姆随后变老，并因为他的服务而受到尊敬。
