A simple story about complicated things.
(Inspired by the writings of Mark Twain.)

HOBO GROVE takes place during the last weekend of Summer vacation in the year 2009. The great stockmarket crash of 2008 has sent the world into a deep depression and the only thing worth it's weight anymore is gold. That's when JOHN GARDENER (Brian Metcalf) decides to run away from his little California cow-town to search for BLACK BART's (A true-life stagecoach robber of the 1880's.) hidden booty.

On the way to hop a train out of town and up into the foothills, John meets a wise old hobo, CABLE ROADWAY (Dennis Helton) who tries to steer John back home, "... where it's safe and boring!". Upon Cable's sudden exit, John mysteriously discovers an old map that shows where a major treasure is buried!

While studying the map, John is surprised by a teenage runaway from Los Angeles, JENNY HOPPER (Natalie Ohlsson) whose beauty matches her brains perfectly. Together, they decide to search for the treasure. Along the way, they deal accordingly with their parents, an evil PIG FARMER (Ted Bhend)and his constipated blue-ribbon-winner and then the local Sheriff. When something terrible but marvelous happens, John & Jenny go on to discover the true meaning of life and live happily ever after ... but that's ANOTHER STORY!
