Continuing the adventure of the bovine buddies Minnie and Moo, this slapstick extravaganza finds the cows traveling past a crane that they think is the Eiffel Tower, picking up a busload of equally adventurous animal friends from nearby Africa World, careening through a car wash they believe is China, and trading stories under a night sky in what they hope is America.
