What do you do when you have outlived your time?
Clint and Bubba are two aging cowboys, bodies worn out from rodeos
and ranching, whose best days are behind them. They run the ranch
for a man whose daughter, Jean Ann, wants to sell it. She enlists
the help of Lacy, a local television personality, to help her
market the ranch.
But her plans backfire as Lacy falls under the spell of the cowboy
mystique. Jean Ann continues with her conniving to sell the ranch
as Clint and Bubba prepare for an uncertain future by having their
young friend, Sonny, ride the rodeo circuit to win prize money.
Included in the plan is a ride on the bull, Dr. Death, for $10,000
in prize money.
How can cowboys survive in a citified world? With only themselves
at first, and later with Lacy lending support and developing more
than a passing interest in Clint, The Last Cowboys fight modern
society in an attempt to hold on to the way of life they know and
love.
