Chicago hotel clerk Frank Harris dreams of life as a cowboy, and he gets his chance when, jilted by the father of the woman he loves, he joins Tom Reece and his cattle-driving outfit. Soon, though, the tenderfoot finds out life on the range is neither what he expected nor what he's been looking for...
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Cowboy' is a straightforward Western centered on a Chicago clerk's experience on a cattle drive. There are no indicators across any of the classification criteria that suggest any meaningful connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography."
