The scene opens in the darkened bedroom of a young boy (Dennis). A window throws subdued light on the walls and the boy who is asleep in his bed. The shadows of the window sashes create a dramatic contrast in the room. On a wall are hung a stick horse, a lasso and a guitar. A cowboy hat rests on the foot of the bed, and a pair of boots are on the floor, close to the owner. A male/female chorus (the same used in the animated short) begins singing softly a simple song of cowboy dreams. Most people today will not think much of the number. However, anyone who has ever owned a felt cowboy hat, or loaded Greenie roll caps into a Mattel Fanner 50, will understand.
