In the dusty frontier town of Rawhide, a masked outlaw known only as the Peppermint Kid eludes capture by hiding in plain sight, leaving behind only the scent of mint. When a bumbling but boastful detective named Bighorn Bill is called in to track him down by smell, his reputation as the "Bloodhound of the West" is put to the test—until a sudden punch to his nose leaves him unable to detect anything but onions. Now, with his sense of smell ruined and the outlaw still at large, Gabby Hayes and the disgruntled detective must rely on wits and hunger to outsmart the Peppermint Kid, whose latest scheme may just be his undoing.

Jumbo, Gabby Hayes’s beloved elephant, causes chaos at the Bar Nothing when his owner, Ellie Hempstead, decides to ship him to a zoo, prompting Gabby to reluctantly let him go.

In the rugged frontier town of Rawhide, a desperate doctor pleads for help when his medical supplies vanish, leaving the townsfolk and the nearby Nuthatchy tribe without aid.

With quick thinking and a dash of luck, Gabby uncovers the real cause — tainted water from the buried supplies — and must outwit the tribe’s fears before he’s sacrificed to the spirit he never was.
