In "Showdown at Teeter-Totter Gulch," the Rugrats gang decides to play cowboys and Indians in the park. While Chucky and Tommy's mothers visit a market nearby, the babies use their imagination to create an exciting game of adventure, complete with make-believe horses, cowboys, and Indians. Angelica, who wants to be the boss, divides the group into the good guys, led by Tommy, and the bad guys, led by herself.
The babies have a great time until Angelica decides to take things too far. She tricks Tommy and his gang into going down a steep slide, and they end up getting stuck at the bottom at a place called Teeter-Totter Gulch. Meanwhile, Angelica and her gang steal Tommy's make-believe horse and hold it for ransom. They demand that Tommy and his friends give up their hats and guns if they want the horse back.
Tommy and his friends are determined not to lose their beloved horse. They devise a plan to sneak up on Angelica and her gang and retrieve the horse.

Fortunately, Chucky and Tommy's mothers show up at just the right time and stop Angelica from causing any harm.
