The story

Retired rodeo champion Sonny Steele is the national spokesman for Ranch breakfast cereal, touring the country in a flashy cowboy costume.

At the performance, Sonny rides Rising Star on stage in the middle of a disco musical number, then out of the casino and out of town.

Sonny refuses to answer her questions and punctures the tires of her car to prevent pursuit.
