Elnora, a bright high school student, faces poverty and disapproval from her mother as she seeks funds for books and tuition. She raises money by gathering forest specimens, aided by Wes Linton and friends, while navigating family tensions, a dangerous swamp, and a quest to complete a butterfly moth collection for graduation.
