Lee Montana is a country western super star who has become an arrogant and obnoxious celebrity. An ex-rodeo rider, he has demanded to ride the infamous bull, Ruthless, as a condition of appearing at the rodeo. He blusters and bullies everyone in his path until he meets Crazy Larry, a ragged but mystical transient who may be the only voice that can get through to Lee before it's too late.
