Aggie, friend Meredith, and Detective Sam vacation at a Texas dude ranch. Aggie plans to advise her column readers how to stay young and fresh in summer. Besides heat, poison ivy, snakes, and rambunctious wranglers, what could go wrong?
Cowhands hide secrets, the ranch manager is jealous of her assistant, and the former ranch owners died suspicious deaths. When an expert rider is thrown from a horse and lies hospitalized in a coma, Aggie is convinced somebody caused the fall. Despite Sam's warnings, she probes deeper and concocts ingenious methods to expose the assailant.
When she scatters a cabal of cowboys, more than one hombre in the bunch would like to see her permanently Home on the Range.
