Phoney Bone is plotting to swindle the locals, while Fone Bone attempts to prove himself and win the heart of the fair Thorn, who has become infatuated with a rakish honey salesman. There are games, trickery, exotic foodstuffs, a daring rescue... and rumblings of something sinister in the offing. And, there's fun with cows.
