Synopsis
Porky's Uncle Curly (who Porky had never heard of) leaves him a ranch in Centipede Canyon. Porky, Petunia, and Elmer all go to see the ranch, but when they get there they find that the ranch is being haunted by a headless phantom, who steals cattle and drills holes in the walls of the ranch house. Despite the strange occurrences, a movie company wants to use the ranch as a location for western star Reginald Steelheart's new picture.
