Literally anything that could go wrong for Riders In The Sky has done so: America’s Favorite Cowboys were evicted from Triple X Ranch, Miss Marm’s prune farm has gone to ruin, and as the Riders now sit out by a lonely campfire, all hell broke loose. It began to rain, a rampaging grizzly tore through their camp, and a crazed gang of headless machine gunners started blasting away. Is this the end of Riders In The Sky?! Featuring Jerry Clower!

As faithful listeners will no doubt recall, in a former serial Ranger Doug – thinking then he was the Phantom of the Valley – saved Miss Marm’s Prune Orchard and received a congratulatory kiss. The kiss was so powerful it brought back Ranger Doug’s memory, but a gunshot from Charlie proved the battle was not over…

Charlie, fitted in a combination of a spacesuit and spaceship, was shot into space to retrieve Spamium, but returned empty-handed. Meanwhile, the blast from the rocket gun and its resulting reverberations caused a stampede… revealing what may be the last remaining Studebaker Golden Hawk… featuring Jamie Hartford!

It’s morning in Tumbleweed Valley. The Riders have finished an early breakfast, and they eagerly await the arrival of the Pony Express. A geographical goof by Too Slim brings a subsequent letter from the Department of the Interior, and the evil villain Slocum has outfitted Charlie in a spacesuit for undoubtedly dubious purposes…

Slocum, wanting to test out his rocket gun, gave Charlie a headset and wireless microphone, sent him to the mouth of the barrel and told him to crawl inside. Meanwhile, back at the famed Harmony Ranch, Riders In The Sky are gathered in their kitchen for a signature Sidemeat meal. But when a dreary radio tune plays across the airwaves, the city falls into a deep depression… featuring Skeeter Davis!

Slocum and Charlie, needing a yodel as a catalyst for their rocket gun’s propellant, put on masks and kidnapped Sidemeat. They tied him to the railroad tracks and waiting for the 3:10 to Yuma. When the Riders came to the rescue, arriving just in the nick of time to rescue Sidemeat with a Ranger Doug yodel. But at the same time the yodel freed Sidemeat, it started a small inner clock on the largest rocket gun on this planet…

Miss Marm and her Sunshine Aerobics class have formed a human chain to block the convoy of 75 18-wheelers carrying materials for Slocum’s rocket gun. After losing control of their brakes, the trucks went over the edge of the deadly cliff. Meanwhile, directly beneath the falling trucks, Charlie is stuck below in a mud pit… featuring Tracy Nelson!

Evil Slocum is up to his ears in his latest big and evil plan, and Miss Marm’s Sunshine Aerobics class has rallied to stop it. Once at the mountain, Miss Marm and her army yet again scare Charlie off a cliff. Meanwhile, 75 18-wheelers have arrived laden with construction materials for Slocum’s rocket gun. But the truck drivers were professional entertainers, and when a paying show biz gig came up, they abandoned their trucks in Tumbleweed City…

Slocum’s sights remain focused on Rudy’s Comet, a comet made of an element unknown on Earth called Spamium, with a single spoonful rumored to power entire cities for centuries. But when environmental activist Miss Marm learned of Slocum’s plan to deface the west’s most beautiful mountain, she rallied her Sunrise Aerobics class to the cause. When Slocum learned of this, he sent Charlie to the crossroads to halt their efforts… featuring Sweethearts of the Rodeo!

Ranger Doug is determined to prove that the Studebaker Golden Hawk is not an extinct species. While searching the Grand Crouton Mountains, the Riders saw Miss Marm kissing Baxter Black. Meanwhile, Slocum has obtained a rocket gun permit from High Sheriff Drywall, and Charlie – after falling off a cliff – found his way to a brain surgeon, who performed a bizarre surgery with a bolt of lightning…
