An eccentric old man with a debilitating disease named Billy convinces a group of young rockabilly music fans to take him to the site of the former Corriganville movie ranch so he can reunite with his childhood crush, an Annie Oakley performer, on the night of a rare Blue Moon. After escaping from a healthcare worker trying to bring Billy back to a hospital, the group arrives at the park after dark and encounters various movie characters from films shot there in the 1950s. When the Blue Moon rises, Billy is magically transformed into his childhood self and finally gets the horseback ride he missed out on years before.
