With no money and welfare officials hot on their trail, the children have little chance of reaching their uncle. But they find a friend in Peggy Williams, a vacationing school teacher. Peggy helps them, their problems apparently solved. Then the plot takes an unexpected twist, leading to a conclusoin that is at once exciting, humorous, and touching.

STRENGHTENING TRADITIONAL VALUES THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT
In a desperate attempt to keep his family together, Mitch learns the hard way that accountability is an essential part of real courage. The scream of an ambulance signals that life has changed forever for the Robbins children. With their mother's death, they face a future that is uncertain at best. Long since abandoned by their father, one thing appears certain: They are bound for four different foster homes. When Mitch convinces his younger siblings that running away is their only chance of staying together, they begin an improbably journey to find Uncle Jack, in hopes he can help them. Hungry, out of cash and with welfare officials hot on their trail, they have little chance--until they find a friend in Peggy, a vacationing teacher. Their problems appear to be solved, but the plot takes another twist. A fun ride for the entire family, "On Our Own" is also a movie with a message: That the end doesn't always justify the means.
