This animate western told the tale about cattle who were turned into cowboys (cows that ride horses) after a comet from outer space crash-landed on a plateau in the Old West.

The citizenry of Moo Mesa included:

• Marshal Moo Montana, the leader of the C.O.W.-Boys
• Cowlorado Kid, Montana's cousin  (a guitar-playing party animal)
• Dakota Dude, Montana's cousin (a gruff hot-tempered bovine)
• Geronimoo, a strong silent Native-American
• Colonel Cudster, the military leader of the C.O.W.-Boys
• Buffalo Bull, the strongest of the C.O.W-Boys (who likes blacksmithing)
• Cowlamity Kate and Miss Lily, their female friends

Together, the C.O.W-Boys followed the Code of the West (C.O.W.) and maintained law and order in the town of Moo Mesa.

The bad guys in town included:

• Mayor Bull-loney; the evil politician
• Sheriff Terrorbull (a.k.a. "The Masked Bull"), the town's corrupt  and the loudmouthed leader of the outlaw gang The Wild West Bullies. These C.O.W-Bullies included the nasty Saddle Sore, a cold-blooded, venomous hooligan; Boot Hill Buzzard, Saddle Sores' fowl sidekick, and Five Card Cud, a two-faced cheating gambler.
