The film is about two wee boys, Tito (Conroy) and Ossie (Fitzgerald), whose father (Byrne) was the king of the travellers until his wife, Mary, died during the birth of his second son, Ossie. Their Grandpa (who is also a traveller) is followed by a beautiful white horse called Tír na nÓg (meaning "Land of Eternal Youth" in Irish Gaelic), from the sea to Dublin, where the boys and theire dad now live. The horse is stolen from them, and they go on a cowboy's adventure, to get their mystical horse back, and escape with him Into The West where they find that Tír na nÓg is not just any horse.
