Gene opens the show with a couple of classic tunes, starting with “Cowboy Blues” followed by “Red Sails in the Sunset.” Back in the bunkhouse, Pat Buttram shares a strange tale about a football accident, his run-in with some coup chickens, and a rather unconventional prize he won at the rodeo. Next, Gene returns to sing “Little Blue Eyed Sally.”
It is storytelling time, and Gene shares a tale with a mysterious beginning. He finds himself drawn to the Hard Rock ranch, especially after discovering a note with a desperate plea for help in his pocket. Where has Clem Olson disappeared to? Poking around soon puts Gene right in danger, but thanks to his quick fists and trusty gun, he handles the bad guys just in time. To wrap up the episode, Gene treats listeners to a performance of “Tumbling Tumbleweeds.”
