A rip-roaring adventure about a pair of cowgirl twins who are very different.
Buffalo Lil and Buffalo Jill looked just the same, but they were as different as apple-pie and cacti. When there's a big HOO-HA at the Wild West competition, they learn that there's more than one way to be a cowgirl.Buffalo Lil and Buffalo Jill look just the same, but they're as different as an apple pie and a desert cactus. The folks of Lone Ridge love sweet, smilin' Jill, but think Lil's too big for her boots - especially when she enters the RIP ROARIN' RUMBLE, a fearsome Wild West contest, against the town hero Yee-Haw Jack. But when a huge HOO-HA rocks the Rumble, Lone Ridge might just need both twins to set it straight. After all, heroes aren't always who you think they are.
