Plot

Roscoe, a hearty vagabond, stumbles into the desolate frontier town of Mad Dog Gulch, having narrowly dodged the wrath of a hostile Indian tribe during his rail-riding journey across the arid desert. Teetering on the brink of survival, he tumbles into the role of a bartender at the town's only saloon, a place where danger lurks beneath every floorboard, and where the dead are discarded through a trap door into a hidden pit. In this grim refuge, Roscoe, now known as Fatty, forms an unlikely alliance with the saloon's owner, Buster. Their camaraderie, however, is put to the test by the menacing presence of Wild Bill Hiccup, a ruthless outlaw known for his quick trigger and quicker temper. When Wild Bill sets his predatory gaze on an innocent girl from the Salvation Army, it's up to Fatty and Buster to foil his nefarious plans. Out West is a darkly humorous parody of classic western tales. It's a wild ride where Fatty and Buster must navigate the dangerous underworld of the saloon, the racial tensions simmering beneath the surface, and their own fear to protect Alice from the looming peril of Wild Bill. The odds are stacked against them, but in the wild west, anything is possible. Will they outwit Wild Bill and save the girl, or fall victim to the lawless chaos of Mad Dog Gulch?
