Synopsis

Porky, Cicero, and Bugs are vacationing at a mountain lodge. On a photography hike the two pigs stumble upon the hideout of two counterfeiters, from whom they escape. Trailing the counterfeiters, while Bugs hoofs it to the nearest ranger station, Porky finds himself on a runaway horse that takes him on a "very, very, wild ride", jumping a cliff, landing atop a moving freight train, across several small mountains, and down a log flume into a rushing river. The horse climbs out safely, but Porky rushes downstream tethered by his rope to a fast-moving log. He eventually lassos an angry bear.
