After moving to Pasadena, Texas, country boy Bud Davis starts hanging around a bar called Gilley's, where he falls in love with Sissy, a cowgirl who believes the sexes are equal. They eventually marry, but their relationship is turbulent due to Bud's traditional view of gender roles. Jealousy over his rival leads to their separation, but Bud attempts to win Sissy back by triumphing at Gilley's mechanical bull-riding competition.

A passion for golf drives this story about fame, schemes and paying the bills. Having successfully failed at everything, Anthony "Babe" Lombardo rises from his couch with one last hope. He is the proud inventor of a new golf swing that "will revolutionize the game!" Determined to make it bankable, Babe frantically maneuvers amidst suspicious investors, vanishing friends, and a disenchanted wife. So while most backers are trying to break 100 or maybe win the U.S. Open, Babe has bigger plans.
