Story: A perfect role for a young Kevin Costner, saddle tramp Petey McGuire has been kicked around so long, he’d run away from his own shadow if he could. But there’s one fight he can’t run from—the fight against hunger. Petey needs a job quick. But the only way to get one is to act cool and talk tough. And he succeeds all too well—landing in the saddle with the Arizona Rangers . . . where he learns exactly what it takes to face the meanest outlaw and win the prettiest girl.
