Abbott & Costello play Duke & Willoughby, two peanut/hot dog vendors who get into big trouble with their boss at a rodeo, and so hitch a ride out of town with a bunch of cows(!) and find themselves at a dude ranch, where they get jobs, even though they know nothing about horses or the west. Willoughby gets in trouble with a local Native tribe over a misunderstanding, and must dodge the repeated arrows of an angry father. Meanwhile, a singing cowboy named "Bronco Bob" Mitchell(played by Dick Foran), and cowgirl named Anne Shaw(played by Anne Gwynne) have a bumpy romance. Disappointing comedy has mostly tired or dated gags that aren't that funny, with tedious and overbearing songs, though the "Crazy House" skit is a highlight.
