Sissy Hankshaw was born with big thumbs, which she uses to hitchhike across the United States from an early age on. She becomes a model for advertising, and her New York agency, dubbed 'the Countess,' sends her to his ranch in California to shoot a commercial against a backdrop of mating whooping cranes, which is shot on location. Bonanza Jellybean, one of the cowgirls at the beauty ranch, becomes a good friend of hers while she is there.
