Cowboy Next to His Horse 2002. "Used with permission from Microsoft."

America’s favorite cowboy sings, I’m an Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande. Gene then sings, I Went to Your Wedding.

In the bunkhouse Winston and Pat Butram joke with Gene about the farm animals, fitting in on the ranch, and living to 100. Gene sings, My Empty Heart.

Gene recounts the time when a man who is built like the side of a barn came to the ranch to look for work. Rumor has itthe that the 6’6″ man, who weighs 300 poundds was a strong man for a circus, but Gene recognizes who he really is. Bill Collins is a reformed criminal, but Can Gene give him the helping hand he needs, or will Bill take the blame for the rash of robberies that go down in town. Gene not only fights for Bill, but may have found the way to clear the big man from his past crime.

To wrap up, Gene sings, The Hills of Wyoming.
