When two cowboys, Dud and his Uncle Ponder, discover a treasure map, Dud decides to take his nephews on an adventure, hoping the boys will find wives so they won't end up lonely old bachelors too. Ponder refuses to go, accusing Dud of using it as an excuse to visit every whorehouse along the way. Dud behaves himself, mostly, and as he and his nephews search for treasure, they find one unsuitable woman after another. Their luck changes, however, when they near Tie Town, the roughest hellhole in Texas. They soon realize Ponder is their only hope of getting to the treasure, and it will take every friend they have in Tie Town to help them stay alive in the meantime.
