Route 66: Ten Drops of Water

The citizens of rural southwestern Utah fight a daily struggle against the harsh conditions of nature just to maintain the land they live on. A misguided act of kindness brings Tod and Buz into the lives of one such family, the Pages, consisting of three orphaned children. When a well malfunction leaves the Pages facing imminent drought, the boys lend the assistance of their corvette's motor to aid in the repairs. But the remorseless conditions of the inhospitable climate threaten to make their task hopeless.
