Once there, he tries his hand at bronco-busting, cattle wrangling and dairy farming, eventually forming a bond with a cow named "Brown Eyes."

Meanwhile, a neglected cow named Brown Eyes fails to give milk and is sent out to the field along with the other cattle intended for slaughter.

Realizing that he has finally found a companion, Friendless gives her his blanket at night and attempts to protect her from wild dogs.

Friendless accidentally sets two steers loose, but at the joking suggestion of the other hands, brings them back in by waving his red bandana.

Arriving in Los Angeles, Friendless frees Brown Eyes and leads her away, using his red bandana once more to guide the thousand steers to the stockyard.

Friendless ties Brown Eyes up before going back to retrieve the other cattle, leaving his red bandana with her in order to keep her cool.

The police attempt to arrest him, but are mistakenly sprayed with hoses by the fire department, who flee once they see the cattle coming.
