A handful of citizens of various occupations and orientations realize the West is not all it is cracked up to be. They decide to go back east, but to do this, they will need a skilled and knowledgeable wagon master. Who should stumble in? But the best wagon master in the West, James H. Harlow (John Candy). Naturally, there is a money-grubbing cabal opposed to this move, and they will stop at nothing to thwart the "Wagons East" plan.
