What happens when three inner city boys, living in poverty, are wrongly accused of a crime? Survival is something upper and middle class people take for granted. They have nice homes and plenty of resources for food, clothing and all the comforts they can afford. It is a different story for the disenfranchised poor. Society has no sympathy for them. Most slide deeper and deeper into the abyss of poverty. In America it is almost a crime to be poor. On a train headed west, the survival skills of the wrongly accused, Slant McCoy, Mick Slade and Montana Hood will be tested. The law will chase them until they are dead, or caught and brought to justice. They run because that's all they CAN do.
