- The Triple R
E1The Triple ROllie, head wrangler for the Triple R Ranch, herds the riding stock from the range into the corral where the boys arriving for summer camp can see them. Spin, a highly competent camper from last summer, jumps from the fence onto the bare back of his horse from last year, Sailor. Bill Burnett, the camp counselor, reprimands him. Freddy is a glasses-wearing tenderfoot whose parents are very protective. Speck has a penchant for pets of all sorts. Last to arrive is Martin Markham, the spoiled grandson of a rich grandmother who has raised him after his parents died. He has even brought his butler Perkins who will stay at the camp with him helping out in the kitchen. - The MisfitE2
The MisfitMartin is aloof, dressed in a suit and way too proper for the other campers. He greets them with, "How do you do, gentlemen?" He is more than happy to let Mr. Burnett carry his luggage to the bunk house and wonders why he can't have a private room. He winces when Burnett calls him Marty, not Martin. When Bill asks Marty about what sports he likes, he replies no to all of them. He does have a collection of books about horses that he brought along, although he admits to having never been on a horse. The other boys feel a bit sorry when they learn he has no parents. Camp director Logan tell Burnett that Marty's dad was one of his military officer pals who was killed in action during WWII. - A Surprise DecisionE6
A Surprise DecisionAll the boys except Marty mount up on their Triple R horses. They have a great time chasing a woodchuck on horseback. Ollie observes that Marty is afraid of horses and devises a plan to gently get him accustomed to being around them. He brings the horse Sky Rocket to repair a loose shoe and has Marty pet him. Oliie also reveals that last year Spin was afraid of horses at the start of camp, just like Marty is this year. Eventually, Ollie coaxes Marty into brushing Sky Rocket. - HomesickE7
HomesickPerkins begins to pack Marty's things as he announced his intention to leave. At the evening campfire, director Logan tells the boys that he wants to win the rodeo competition against the North Fork Ranch at summer's end. Freddie is homesick and wants to leave with Marty when he does. Marty spends lots of time brushing his horse Sky Rocket. The boys short sheet Marty's bunk; he just takes it in stride as a sign that the others are beginning to accept him. When Freddie is heard crying from lonesomeness in bed, Marty takes the blame for it. He firmly announces, "I'm staying".
