After relocating to Pasadena, Texas, country kid Bud Davis begins frequenting a pub called Gilley's and meets Sissy, a cowgirl who respects both sexes. When they do get married, things are rocky since Bud still believes in traditional gender roles. They split up because Bud was jealous of Wes, but Bud tries to reconcile things by winning Gilley's mechanical bull-riding contest.
