The Galloping Ghost Nugget Nose is a short and feisty ghost prospector who finds adventure riding his invisible horse and is also a guardian to two teenage cowgirls, Wendy and Rita, who work at the Fuddy Dude Ranch whose owner is grouchy old Fenwick Fuddy. Nugget is always battling Fuddy and takes delight in harassing him in odd and humorous ways. Whenever the girls are in trouble, Wendy summons Nugget Nose by rubbing on her special nugget necklace.
