They were on their way to California, but while on the train someone had stolen their tickets and money, leaving them out of luck and in the desert.

Homer the Kid and Gun Smoke Carter, two of the meanest cowboys around, are expected to arrive that very day and laughter abounds as a case of mistaken identity is had when Ambrose and Bert come to town. A hilarious satire of old West antics, 鈥淒esperate Ambrose,鈥� will surely bring the laughter.
