A cowboy was riding across the mountainous dunes of a vast desert, when his horse slipped in the sand and he fell from his saddle. When the cowboy fell he hit his shoulder on something hard. Much to his surprise, he discovered a large chest sticking out of the sand. Thinking it to be a lost treasure chest the cowboy opened it with thoughts of gold and jewels.
Once opened the chest turned into a hole in the sand that swallowed the cowboy. Next thing the cowboy knew he was in a tunnel surrounded by Goblins, who immediate began wrestling him down to tie him up. Just when the cowboy thought all was lost, a yellow corvette convertible slides to a stop next to them and frightens the goblins away. The girl driving the car said, "Excuse me, I think I made a wrong turn. Could you tell me how to get to New York? The cowboy was too stunned by everything to speak.... and the girl sped off down the tunnel, thinking the cowboy quite rude.
After finally finding his way to his feet, the cowboy made his way through a tunnel that seemed to be going up. When he climbed onto a boulder blocking his way, he accidentally tripped the secret switch causing the boulder to launch him upward super Mario style.
The cowboy popped right through the floor of a disco club for desert mice and landed in the middle of a group of bell bottom clad rodents performing YMCA.
Seeing that he was wearing a cowboy hat, the disco mice believed him to be one of the 5 saviours "Men at Work" from the holy book "Groovy, Disco Tech Monthly Magazine" whose pages adorned the walls of the cavern. The mice immediately presented the cowboy with their most prized possession. the "disco ball of power". The cowboy not wanting to be rude.. took the disco ball and said, "I just wish I could go home" and in a flash, the disco ball turned into a whirling vortex sucking the cowboy in.
When the cowboy regained his senses , he found himself standing between a tin man and a scarecrow being attacked by flying monkeys in fez hats. Just when all seemed lost, a powerful voice broke through air.. "Never fear! Underdog is here!" As fast as he appeared, Underdog disappeared in a dizzying whirl of flying monkeys.
Completely forgetting the tin man and the scarecrow, the cowboy leaned against a tree in exasperation and screamed "What is going on here!", swatting a low hanging branch with his hat. Unbeknown to him..... the branch was a secret switch, and one again he disappeared downward through a trap door. Then was immediately ejected upward, high into the air, and was caught by bubble gum fairies riding cotton candy clouds to the land of Yum.
After a quick inspection, the bubble gum fairies realized that cowboy was not made of candy. Disgusted, they dropped him into a hollow tree, which took offence to the intrusion and spit him out across the way. The cowboy landed gingerly in a wheel barrow powered by seven rather surly dwarfs. Who immediately raced the barrow to the edge of a cliff and dump the cowboy over.
All the cowboy could say was "What next?" with a sigh of resignation. Then much to his surprise, he landed on his horse, in the exact same spot the adventure began. And the cowboy swore never to open another chest again.
As he rode away, he thought he heard, every so faintly a snicker. The fading smile of an oddly coloured and rapidly disappearing cat watched him go.
