Although the Depression years are finally behind Jessie and her family, Jessie's father can't afford to send her to college - something Jessie yearns for more than anything in the world. Night after night Jessie and Pa fight the same battle. Jessie's younger brother, H. J. knows how she feels. The trapped look in her eyes reminds H.J. of the haunted yellow eyes he saw staring out at him from the leopard's cage at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Thinking the world of his older sister, H.J. wishes there was something he could do to help Jessie. Then one day, Lucky, the leopard, escapes from the zoo, slowly making his way to the fields near H.J's home. Pursued by zoo officials and local hunters who want him captured dead or alive, Lucky is in danger. But H.J. and his dog , Ring, have a plan - one that could save Lucky from his prison and free Jessie to fulfill her dream, all at the same time.
