A prospector on a visionary quest across the American desert is forced to choose between loyalty and love.

The strong bond between man and beast is legendary throughout history. Never has it been better illustrated than in Zane Grey's "Tappan's Burro," a story in which time, the elements, and even love test the connection between a lone prospector and his one true friend, a lop-eared, placid little burro named Jenet.
