Keaton is at his hilarious best in this buddy comedy… co-starring Brown Eyes the cow!
A poor young man, known only as “Friendless” (Keaton), sells the last of his belongings and travels West seeking work at a cattle ranch. Struggling to fit in with his fellow workers, he bonds with a beautiful cow named “Brown Eyes” (playing herself). When Brown Eyes is chosen for slaughter, Friendless will do anything he can to save her.
