Through a musical experience, Wilbur has a music publisher record a song written, composed, and sung by Ed.

Roger's brother-in-law is begging Wilbur to write a follow-up hit song to "Pretty Little Filly". He wants it to be a blues number, so Wilbur does his best to get Ed in a depressed mood.

Zsa Zsa Gabor has to make a western movie but is uncomfortable with horses. Eventually Wilbur lends Ed to Zsa Zsa to overcome her fear.

Everyone gets involved in a local variety show, which makes Ed feel left out. Ed then concocts a plan which he can be a one-horse band and starts to practice in the barn after midnight.
