CloseSammy Going South is a rugged youngster’s-eye-view adventure set in South Africa. 10-year-old orphan Sammy, who resides in Port Said, tries to locate his only relative who lives 5000 miles away across the desert in Durban.
After the death of his first guide, an erstwhile peddler, Sammy is rescued by a wealthy tourist.
Not anxious to return to Port Said, Sammy escapes his benefactress and links up with a crafty old hunter/diamond smuggler whose life is saved by the boy. The police, alerted by the guide about Sammy, arrest the old man who has been a fugitive for years.
When Sammy is finally reunited with his Aunt, he learns that the old smuggler has willed him his fortune.
