Learning to be a cowboy at a dude ranch, the Optimist gets lost in the desert, lassoed in the corral, and knocked out on the gun range, and has a shootout with the handsome Rival.

The Optimist is a Beverly Hills tennis pro, waiter, golfing coach and dog minder - all in one day! Then, chaos ensues with two gorgeous women and a pool party.

Sent to a heath farm, the Optimist finds the scary Matron runs it like a prison. Half-starved and battered, the Dancer helps him make a break for freedom.
