An Arizona deputy sheriff is sent to New York City to extradite an escaped killer he tracked down.

==========

Coogan, an Arizona cop, is sent to New York to collect a prisoner. Everyone in New York assumes Coogan is 
from Texas, much to his annoyance. To add to Coogan's problems the prisoner isn't ready, so he decides to 
cut a few corners. In the process the prisoner escapes, and Coogan is ordered home. Too proud to return 
home empty handed, Coogan sets out into the big city to recapture his prisoner.

==========

Coogan's an Arizona deputy sheriff, who doesn't get along with his boss and doesn't exactly do things by 
the book, and also a little arrogant. Fed up with his rugged individualness, his boss sends him to New York 
to get a man who's waiting to extradited. Upon arriving everybody thinks he's just another bumpkin. When 
the New York Police Lieutenant tells him that his prisoner is still not ready to be transported, Coogan 
tries to be patient. But when he decides that he can't wait anymore, he tricks one of the attendants into 
releasing the prisoner and at the airport someone springs him. Coogan's boss is pleased that he has screwed 
up so bad, and orders him to return but Coogan feeling responsible or his ego has been bruised stays and 
tries to find despite being warn by the Lieutenant that he has no authority here.
