Follow Norwood Pratt, a young man from Ralph, Texas, as he travels to New York City (and back) to recover a small debt owed him by a friend and to find true love. Along the way he abandons a car, rides the rails, shares a lunch of potted meat with an acquaintance, helps a little person get to the West Coast, and rescues an educated chicken.
