WHAT DOES "FAIR" HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? Tormented by guilt and fear, naive pet salesman Dan Downey runs away to his deadbeat dad in Oregon in search of forgiveness and asylum. Dan partners up for the journey with his polar opposite, Codwell Gutterman, a rich, selfish womanizer bound for Oregon to stalk lawyer Connie Flynn. Bound together by a common destination, Dan and Codwell are trapped in a purgatory of conflicting world views. The friction between them reaches a flash point when they fall in love with the same fantasy girl. At the end of the bickering, bucking, biting, slamming, philandering, and shooting, only one contender can win Connie's hand. This fast-paced story chronicles a comedy of misfortunes visited on Dan-the-innocent by Codwell-the-hustler on the turbulent path to latching on to their fair share.
