Rodeo thrills and spills — Kiwi style — are on display in this doco following two cowboys travelling the circuit in a '50s Chrysler. They compete in events in Fairlie, Rerewhakaaitu and Warkworth, and encounter American stars along the way. Broncos, calves and bulls are ridden, wrestled or roped; but pride of place goes to spectacular shots of them using rodeo skills to capture deer by helicopter. Cowboy up indeed. A parade, the 'Cowboy's Prayer' and fearless rodeo clowns also feature. Geoff Dixon (future founder of production company Silverscreen) directs.

What a treasure trove we've stumbled upon by sheer accident! All the young cowboys are now the ones we see on the circuit and they are the veterans - great fun and we love it!!
