A cowboy, Joe Buck, moves to New York City from Texas to make his fortune as a hustler servicing rich Park Avenue women. Shortly after arriving, he is hustled by homeless con man Ratzo Rizzo, who had said he would manage him for a $20 fee. Bent on getting his money back, Buck finds the rapidly deteriorating Rizzo, ends up feeling sorry for him, and moving into Rizzo s room in an abandoned building to care for him. The two remain hopeful of striking it rich with Rizzo managing Buck s career, but it soon becomes obvious that they are no match for the urban jungle.
