Synopsis:
Sheriff Chase and Bobo see a runaway ostrich while fishing. Bobo manages to rope the ostrich with a lasso and capture it. Sheriff Chase learns that the ostrich escaped from Clive Holloway's farm after a valuable mynah bird was stolen.

The ostrich escapes again. Bobo lands on its back and is carried away. The ostrich returns to the area where Bobo and the sheriff originally saw it. Bobo sees Spike Dorkins, the man who stole the mynah bird. Riding the ostrich like a horse, Bobo lassos Dorkins, then hogties him until the sheriff arrives.
