Figlio adottivo di due contadini di colore, Navin Johnston, ormai un ragazzone, decide di lasciare l'amata famiglia per fare fortuna. Assunto presso la stazione di servizio di Harry, Navin combina spesso guai ma un giorno, aggiustando gli occhiali da sole di Stanley Fox, si spiana il terreno per una meravigliosa avventura.
