Based on the western song "Utah Kel", this is the story of two friends, Utah Kel Johnson and Gayle Tex Bodily. Utah and Tex, at the young age of 17, leave their homes in west Texas seeking to find work on a trail drive. They meet an old cowboy named Jake Griffith who takes them under his wing and teaches them what they need to know to herd cattle and how to survive on the prairie. Utah and Tex help Jake get his cattle to Laredo where they are hired on by Martin McMillan a longtime friend of Jakes. They begin one of the last big trail drives to Abilene, Kansas. Along the way Utah acquires an unwanted reputation of being good with a gun. Men begin to seek out Utah to test their own skill against his. Tex meanwhile begins to wonder about the universe and the world around him. His curiosity leads Tex to seek out the Mormon religion. Their adventures are a heartwarming mixture of happiness and sadness that will touch your heart. A good old fashioned western story of cattle drives, rustlers, gun fights and finding love along the way.
