He arrives in a small town where crusty small-town newspaper editor Doyle Magee (Merrill) decides to take the boy in and give him a chance at a regular life. Wealthy local farmer Tobias Brown (Marvin) also takes an interest in Biarn's future, but treats the young man cruelly, masking Tobias' real hidden feelings of affection and genuine concern. Biarn also proves his worth by training racehorses for the climactic annual horse race.

I never expected "The Missouri Traveler" to be such a great film! It is a lesser know Lee Marvin movie, that is set in a small Missouri town in The early 1900's. It does boast a fight scene at the end of the movie that is somewhat reminiscent of "the Quiet Man" If you want a family friendly movie, which people from the Midwest in particular will "get" then this is the movie!
