An old irish folk song made its way into the wild american west and became a country ballad, known as "The Streets of Laredo". Now the dying guy is no longer an irishman but a desperate cowboy -- and in this film even a pig. He's got a bullet in his chest and has to die. A compassionate young fellow pig comes along the way and gets involved in his sad fate.
