A Middle Eastern dictator, fleeing his occupied country, finds himself near the Mexican border when his plane crashes. The only survivor , he stumbles into the highway and is hit by a truck driven by three redneck cowboys who take him to an exotic game ranch that is also their home. The wounded man is cared for by the ranch's housekeeper and cook.
