Two Guys from Texas

Steve Carroll and Danny Foster are broke and stranded in the Texas wilderness. They stumble upon a classy dude ranch and meet Maggie Reed, an old friend who helps them land jobs as house performers. The two quickly start sharing the stage with Maggie and begin a new life at the ranch.

Steve immediately sets his sights on Joan Winston, the ranch owner, and begins making his moves. His suave flirtations complicate things and stir jealousy in Danny. Joan's curiosity grows as the flirtation continues.

Danny's fear of animals, big or small, becomes evident to all. Dr. Straeger is summoned to assess him and prescribes a curious therapeutic plan. The idea sets the wheels turning for the subsequent scheme.

Maggie warns Joan that Steve is a lothario and not to fall for his tricks. Joan, enticed by Steve, pursues the romance anyway, deepening the emotional tug among the trio. The warning heightens the tension around the ranch.

A stout, middle-aged Native woman repeatedly grabs Danny by the arm, trying to pull him into romance. He narrowly escapes each time, creating ongoing comic danger and cultural tension. The pattern foreshadows the strange, persistent pursuit he faces.

Straeger's prescription dictates that Danny must steal away one of Steve's girlfriends. The diagnosis frames Danny's fear as a displaced fear of women and gives him a dangerous assignment. The premise sets the stage for a risky social experiment.

Danny targets Joan and makes headway with a kiss that seems to break his fear of animals. The moment appears to cure his fear, but it also awakens a new itch for romance. The therapy's unintended consequences begin to unfold.

Joan succumbs to Steve's charm despite Maggie's warnings, fueling a tense love triangle at the ranch. The relationships become entangled as Maggie watches in frustration and concern. Danny's mission seems to blur amid romantic politics.

Two crooks staying at the ranch steal Steve and Danny's car to use in a getaway, framing the duo for the robbery. They end up jailed, then manage to escape and clear their names. The arrest raises the stakes for everyone on the ranch.

Tex Bennett, the tall, handsome sheriff and Joan's suitor, pursues Steve and Danny with determination. He is eager to protect Joan and bring the criminals to justice. His badge represents law and order closing in on the trio.

The next day is the Big Rodeo, and the bandits attempt a hold-up at the box office. Danny endures a wild ride atop a bucking bronco and somehow sets a new world record for staying on. Tex spots the criminals and closes in, thwarting the robbery.

Tex unmasks and captures the bandits, saving the town’s money. He then gracefully bows out and surrenders Joan to Steve, effectively stepping back from a love triangle. The town breathes easier as the law’s victory reshapes the romantic landscape.

Maggie has fallen for the badge-wearing Tex and pledges herself to him, leaving Danny behind. The ranch settles into a new balance as relationships reconfigure around the new couple. Danny watches with a sense of loss and uncertain future.

A persistent Native elder drags Danny toward her daughter, who stands alluringly nearby. In a swift moment, Danny shares a kiss with the girl, signaling a surprising new romance as the credits roll. The scene closes the film on a playful, unresolved note.
