Cranky Doodle Donkey is a traveler in search of his lost love. Drifting Wood is a vagabond with a penchant for picking pockets. After a life-or-death struggle, the two form an unlikely friendship. Cranky wants Drifting Wood to straighten up and fly right. Drifting Wood wants Cranky to loosen up and enjoy life, or at least pay for the next round. The abundance of fist-fights, extensive bar tabs, and angry mobs that follow should tell you who gets their way most of the time.
