Roy Disney's hidden 49-minute fever dream about a boy, a panther, and grand theft airboat.
A Seminole boy spending the summer alone in the Everglades as a rite of passage helps a lost panther cub survive, but the village does not welcome him when he follows the boy home. The boy has to steal an airboat to take the panther deep into the swamp.
