A lighthearted, music-filled comedy romp about two bumbling underdogs stumbling through cowboy life, built entirely on charm, slapstick, and good-natured fun.

Two peanut vendors at a rodeo show get in trouble with their boss and hide out on a railroad train heading west. They get jobs as cowboys on a dude ranch, despite the fact that neither of them knows anything about cowboys, horses, or anything else.
