The Addams Family discovers that Lurch wants to be a cowboy. Uncle Fester covers for him while Wednesday, Pugsley, and Thing go with Lurch to a local ranch. The foreman, Buck, is worried that Lurch will be a better cowboy than him, so he tries to sabotage the cowboy training. None of his efforts phase Lurch, so Buck calls in the Big-as-a-Barn Kid, who is even bigger than Lurch. When Lurch bests him, he is offered a job as the new foreman, but he misses his job and the Family and soon returns home.
