The antics of a colorful group working at the Bar None, a dude ranch. It is owned by Mr. Ernst, a sometimes-too-enthusiastic, but well meaning boss. The staff includes the sweet lifeguard Melody, , the rich horse instructor Brad, Native American Danny of Hopi descent, the good-looking but always into trouble Ted, and Mr. Ernst's young son Buddy. There's also a wise ranchhand named Lucy and later the group expands to include Jake, Mr. Ernst's nephew, and Kyle.
