Delightfully insightful Story Telling.

The Avenging Angel, the Foul-Mouthed Apostle to be, and the colorful Samuel Longhorn Clements before Tom Sawyer all played roles in the expansion of the American West. Three interesting historical characters, Orin Porter Rockwell, J. Golden Kimball, and Mark Twain meet in a wilderness environment and share an evening around a campfire exploring each other's personalities and experiences.

The setting is fictional - a what if they ever really met what perhaps would their conversation be. Skillfully scripted and magnificently acted, the hour the viewer spends with these three conflicting characters is delightful, thought provoking, entertaining, and educational. A just right film.
