A book-smart boy living with his mother in Boston, Massachusetts, takes a trip to Port Angeles, Washington, during a teacher strike to visit his father. On his trip the boy sees two suspicious men who later show up in Port Angeles. While visiting his dad, the boy enjoys the outdoors and gets a taste of small-town life. The day he's supposed to return to Boston, the boy sees the two suspicious men again at the train station; at the same time, a man approaches the boy, hands him a film container and gives him instructions. The suspicious men then abduct the boy to get the film; they take the boy to the woods and hand him off to two bumbling henchmen with instructions to get rid of the boy. The henchmen take the boy up the mountains and drop him in an abandoned mine shaft, but the boy climbs out of the mine shaft and outfoxes the henchmen all while surviving in the woods until he is rescued by the Coast Guard.
