Film begins showing a passenger train moving through landscape, empty except for some cattle grazing. The setting is Texas, the United States, during World War 2. A young boy is on the train, wearing a a British school uniform (or possibly Norwegian school uniform), with short pants. He sits with his knees up, reading a book about the American West. Other books about the West are on his seat. Scenes from movies of the West that are in the boys mind are shown. They show vintage western film reenactments of stage coaches being defended; cowboys riding en masse; cowboys fighting Native American Indians; teams of horses pulling stage coaches; gun fights in various places; exterior of the "Last Chance Saloon"; and a cowboy riding a bucking horse in a saloon. As the train arrives at his destination, the boy readies and leaves the train. A man in a 10 gallon hat meets him and shakes his hand. Camera pans over landscape containing a single ranch or farm house. The boy is seen running all around the property. A tractor pulls a disc cultivator over some of the land. Now dressed in a western hat and long pants, his host takes him to meet one of the ranch hands who is working on an automobile. They walk by a man driving a tractor. Next they visit a man shoeing a horse. They wave at some men using hand tools to cultivate some crop. They walk past a tall windmill. Cattle are seen grazing in a field. After their exploration, the Host sits on a porch as the boy reads more information in a book. Another view of grazing cattle. A lone cowboy on a horse looks over the land.
