Trailing the counterfeiters, while Bugs hoofs it to the nearest ranger station, Porky finds himself on a runaway horse that takes him on a "very, very, wild ride", jumping a cliff, landing atop a moving freight train, across several small mountains, and down a log flume into a rushing river. The horse climbs out safely, but Porky rushes downstream tethered by his rope to a fast-moving log. He eventually lassos an angry bear.
