Tucker's Odyssey

Tucker (Tuck) Elsworth is a typical western boy: mischievous, somewhat disobedient and a perpetual daydreamer. His aimless wanderings in the countryside sometimes lead him into situations that cause grief... and one such episode actually results in the death of his father. Tuck is mortified, burdened with guilt, and his anguish is amplified when his mother says they have no alternative but to move to New Orleans, where they will live with Tuck's Aunt May. Aunt May lives in luxury, as her husband, Johnny Natali, is a successful businessman. He is also an active member of the Mafia, and he takes young Tuck under his wing, shows him the ropes of all his enterprises. Hormones raging, Tuck falls in love for the first time, but he chooses unwisely the daughter of a KKK Grand Wizard who hates everything Johnny Natali stands for. Oh Boy! More trouble! But Johnny bails out Tuck, and he also makes a lavish gift that fulfills Tuck's boyhood dream: a home of his own, on a ranch in the hills of Colorado.
