Billy Crystal and Jack Palance reprise their roles as two of the most mismatched cowpokes ever to ride the Wild West when they search for a hidden fortune. After the adventure of a lifetime, suburbanite Mitch Robbins (Crystal) has settled back into his ever-so-average job in radio airtime sales. But the ghost of hard-bitten, deceased cowboy Curly Washburn (Academy Award winner Palance) leads Robbins to a hidden map to Curly's lost gold mine. Now, with Curly's twin brother--equally hard-bitten, authentic, almost mythic cowboy Duke Washburn (also Palance)--Robbins and his schlep of a brother, Glen (Jon Lovitz), ride the range--finding adventure and gold in the unforgiving Arizona desert.
