Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Working as a delivery man, Jim-Bob (David W. Harper) falls in love with one of his customers, Betsy Randolph (Patsy Rahn). It so happens, however, that Betsy is already spoken for: she is the wife of an Army air corps pilot. The plot takes a curious turn when Betsy's husband is killed in action. Elsewhere, girl scout Serena (Martha Nix) gets lost in the woods while trying to win a merit badge for hiking, obliging her uncle John (Ralph Waite) to look for her -- and to end up hiking right alongside Serena as she ventures into some decidedly treacherous territory.
