BANJO HACKETT is a horse trader played by legendary Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Don Meredith, a freewheelin' cowboy who roams the old wild west with his orphaned nephew, Jubal (Ike Eisenmann). The pair are in search of a rare Arabian horse that was stolen from the boy's mother before she died. They have some stiff competition from millionaire Tip Conaker (Dan O'Herlihy), however, as well as a devious bounty hunter named Chuck Connors, who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the missing steed. Banjo also pays the occasional visit to Mollie (Jennifer Warren), a beautiful rancher with whom the skittish cowboy is reluctantly in love. (official distributor synopsis)
