After seeing a television commercial for the Dowdy Doody Dude Ranch, Chop Chop decides to go there to learn to be a cowboy. When he arrives, two cowboys put him through some rough moments including a ride on the horse Ornery. After being tossed around, Chop Chop and Ornery stop in front of a train causing it to stop. It is lucky they did because the train was approaching a break in the track which would have resulted in a derailment. Ornery runs off and Chop Chop decides to take the train back home as cowboy life is not for him. |
