As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Arizona cowboy Sky Parker (Desmond) goes to San Francisco to claim an inheritance left him by his uncle. He takes five cowboys with him. The "boys" have a hectic time, among the adventures include a ride through the city on borrowed truck horses from a brewery, a stunt for which they are arrested.
