Starting with the airborne border patrol agents at the Canadian border in the stunning mountains of Montana and ending at the very different border with Mexico in Texas, Stephen Fry explores the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains and America's breadbasket beside them.

He meets Ted Turner and some of his 50,000 bison, encounters Wyoming ranchers who have particularly close encounters with wolves and bears, rides through the snow on a dogsled, overdoses on carbohydrates at a German diner in Bismarck, North Dakota, and experiences the Badlands of South Dakota.

A ride with a trucker in Nebraska takes him into the bizarre home of some Kansans in an underground missile base. Posh Aspen in Colorado is in contrast with a Salvation Army belly dancer in Oklahoma, while a gala dinner in Houston is a far cry from a band of TexMex musicians at the border in El Paso.
