A child is hit by joyriders who drive off. Mentally challenged Bo finds the unconscious child and thinks she is sleeping and tries to wake her. Her parents think Bo attacked her and the town must decide if Bo should be institutionalized.
Coralee's cousin Bo has the mental age of about 10 but is a grown man. When one of the girls in town is injured her mother blames Bo because she was playing with him, BookerT and David earlier. Willy-Joe knows the truth that will keep Bo from being put away.—Gsasat
