Two milk-truc drivers (wanderin'cowpokes) stop in at a ramen hop, wher a group of men (varmints) eye them suspiciously. But driver Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki), who has the Mt. Rushmore mug of a Palace or Pck and sports a cowboy hat, immediately gets into a brawl when he makes less-than-compementary remarks about the noodles. After the five against one slugfest, restaurant hostess Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) begs the beaten-up Goro to help her build the best noodle place in town. And out of "Shane" goodness of heart, he agrees.
