Ce court dessin-animé raconte le rêve d'un petit garçon (Charly) passionné par la vie de Cow-boy à l'époque des pionniers, dans le Far West américain. Accompagné par une musique de George Bruns, l'enfant parvient, le temps d'un rêve, à se fondre en véritable Cow-boy avec sa monture (d'où le titre A cowboy Needs a Horse signifiant Tout Cow-boy a besoin d'un cheval). Il fume ainsi le Calumet avec un chef indien après avoir emprisonné à l'aide d'un lasso toute sa tribu, arrête un gangster, empêche un train de dérailler sur un pont détruit à la dynamite par des bandits, ou encore sauver une jeune fille kidnappée par un malfrat.

Mysto the Magician appeals to a snobbish opera singer, the Great Poochini (a pun on opera composer Giacomo Puccini), to let him perform an opening act at the show that night. Mysto's tricks primarily come from his magic wand, which can summon flowers and rabbits. After Mysto dances and asks him if he got the job, Poochini emphatically says "NO!", kicking Mysto out the door into the alley.

The story is set in 1895 France and takes place predominantly in Paris. However, it begins on a farm in rural Provence. The lovely housecat Mewsette and the accomplished but shy mouser Jaune Tom are in love ("Mewsette"), but the former is frustrated with his plebeian ways (and those of the farm), to the point of calling him a "clumsy country clod". Inspired by the human Jeanette's stories of glamour and sophistication in Paris ("Take My Hand, Paree"), Mewsette runs away by taking a train to the big city ("Roses Red, Violets Blue"), where she encounters the slick con-cat Meowrice (Paul Frees). Taking advantage of the country kitty's naivete, he puts her in the care of the sultry Madame Henretta Reubens-Chatte, who promises to turn Mewsette into a dainty debutante known as "The Belle of all Paris". Unbeknownst to Mewsette, Meowrice is grooming her to be the mail-order bride of a rich American cat in Pittsburgh known as "Mr. Henry Phtt" ("The Money Cat"). Meanwhile, Jaune Tom and his sidekick Robespierre arrive in Paris, searching for Mewsette.
