Two modern day cowboys--Laramie and Hap--embark on a journey to find Hap's "Juanita"--a gal he met when he was 12 and who he made a promise too. Along the way they have all sorts of hair raising adventures, make new friends, and even bring justice to a few bad guys. It's just a lot of good old fashioned Western fun, with a smidgen of romance and witty dialogue thrown in.
