A former champion rodeo rider is reduced to using his saddle skills to promote a breakfast cereal in a gaudy Las Vegas show. When he's asked to perform with a $12 million horse, he discovers it is being doped to remain docile. He flees into the desert astride the beast in an act of defiance. A story-hungry female reporter gives chase.
Editor's Verdict
"The only stated connection to Christmas is a 'Holiday Release,' which refers to the theatrical distribution window, not the content of the film itself. The plot, genres (Western, Drama, Romance), and central conflict (a rodeo rider running away with a doped horse) have no discernible connection to Christmas themes, setting, or iconography."
