Larry takes a treacherous trip through Arizona to find out why folks choose to live in this sun-scorched state. His first creepy-crawly encounter is with a family that uses this desert landscape as a natural resource for their spider venom business. The critters then get much larger as he visits a big character and his big birds at the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. Larry's last stop is at the final resting place for some even bigger birds: the Air Force Boneyard, where the heroic jet planes of yore are both preserved and picked apart.
