The Riders are searching for the last suspected habitat of the legendary Studebaker Golden Hawk in the Grand Crouton Mountain in Tumbleweed Valley. Meanwhile, Slocum has leased the grandest Crouton of them all and plans to build a huge rocket gun up its towering side. Later that same day, Miss Marm was rescued from the doofus Charlie by Baxter Black, earning him a thank you kiss. But it was at that moment Ranger Doug came into view on a nearby knoll and saw the smooch…

Slocum and Charlie have stolen a shipment of rocket gun research documents from The National Archives! Slocum then raised the money to build said rocket gun by preemptively selling it (slightly used) to a far-away despot. While plotting the mountaintop on which to build the weapon, he checked the county records for the owner of the highest peak and made a startling discovery…

The arch villain Slocum has hijacked an armored car he believes to contain a shipment of art and jewelry belonging to The National Archives. Meanwhile, Sheriff Drywall wrote what he believed to be a hit song, took it to Nashville and was taken for everything he owned. It is a dark, moonless night in Tumbleweed City, and an armored car tools into town and stops in the back of the infamous Dry Gulf Saloon…

Riders In The Sky had a delicious Mexican dinner and Sheriff Drywall wrote a song. Meanwhile, in our nation’s capital, the Bluegrass Movers – using an armored car and dump truck – are transporting treasures from The National Archives to a new research facility. But waiting to hijack them on a lonely stretch of two-lane highway are none other than Slocum and Charlie… featuring The Cox Family!

Riders In The Sky are gathered innocently enough at the ranch house kitchen while Sidemeat prepares a hearty supper of disgusting slop. As expected, the Riders are looking for dinner alternatives at nearby restaurants, but as the Riders happily head off, startling discoveries by Sheriff Drywall and our nation’s capitol begin to weave a web of tangled events… featuring the Katie Laur Band!

As fateful listeners will no doubt recall, there’s big trouble in Tumbleweed Valley. Ranger Doug was convicted of crimes he didn’t commit, fled while on bail and is now a victim of amnesia, believing himself to be Don Ricardo Proboscis. Charlie and Slocum are up to their dirty necks in mischief as they plot to take over Miss Marm’s prune ranch with a plan involving Ranger Doug’s mask, a landfill and Woolworths… featuring Pam Tillis!

Riders In The Sky – thinking Charlie was Ranger Doug – had chased after the Phantom, but lost him when he disappeared into the face of the Montgomery Cliffs. Back at Miss Marm’s Prune Ranch, the prune hawks have returned from whence they came, but not before a US Department of Agriculture agent saw them and phoned in a report to Washington of a gigantic prune hawk population explosion that would leave America pruneless…

Slocum is deeply involved in his very big and evil plan to take over the water rights to Tumbleweed Valley. With Ranger Doug still distracted and believing he is Don Ricardo Proboscis, Slocum has hatched a new plan to take over Miss Marm’s organic prune ranch. Charlie has been ordered to disguise himself as Ranger Doug, visit Miss Marm and drop a single drop of Ode de Prune Hawk into her irrigation tank… featuring Pee Wee King!

Now believing that he is Don Ricardo Proboscis, Ranger Doug donned the Don’s cape, mask and used charcoal to turn Turbo into a jet-black stallion. He then rode forth, where he thwarted Charlie’s plan to stampede a herd of chickens to their deaths. Disturbed by Ranger Doug’s disappearance, Too Slim notified Sheriff Drywall, who then arranged to get the story on the hit television series Unsolved Mysteries.

After discovering a hidden cavern and tripping into a subterranean void, Ranger Doug was saved by his faithful horse, Turbo! But the fall caused amnesia, and when he discovered the cave was none other than the long-lost secret lair of Don Ricardo Proboscis, he then assumed that he was the 300-year-old Don Proboscis, also known as… the Phantom of the Valley. Featuring The Bobs!
