But once they realize Macโs not a rustler, they ask him to join the team. Mac takes them up on the offerโespecially after he meets the cowgirl Colleenโand quickly impresses everyone with his cooking skills. Thereโs just a few more problems:
Macโs new employers are the real rustlers. And Macโs stepped out of the frying pan into the fire . . .
