A fifteen-year-old boy who has run away from a reformatory hides in an abandoned barn. In that same barn, a cheetah that has escaped from Longleat Lion Park in England is also hiding. The coexistence between the fugitive and the animal marks the development of the story.

Intended for students of English as a foreign language who want to practise reading comprehension with graded readers.
