Plot

In the bustling, gold-seeking era, we meet the audacious Dingus Magee, a notorious troublemaker with an insatiable hunger for wealth. His quest for a fabled gold train brings him face-to-face with an old acquaintance, Hoke Birdsill, on a stagecoach journey to San Francisco. With an effortless blend of charm and mischief, Magee robs Birdsill of his hard-earned money. Birdsill, now penniless, seeks refuge in the quirky town of Yerkey's Hole, presided over by the enigmatic Belle Knops, who doubles as the Mayor and bordello-madam. In an unexpected turn of events, Belle appoints Birdsill as the town Sheriff, with a peculiar mission: to stir up the local Indians and distract the soldiers at the nearby fort - their primary clientele - from their impending doom at Little Big Horn. Meanwhile, Magee, ever the instigator, stirs up his own brand of chaos and finds himself entangled with Anna, a delicate, baby-talking Native American woman. The film playfully mocks the often-cited "Code of the West," blowing it out of proportion and showcasing the inherent absurdity within its principles. As the plot unravels, viewers are invited into a world where traditions are turned on their head, and the Wild West is wilder than they could ever imagine.
