Plot

In the vibrant aftermath of 1870, Jesse W. Haywood, an earnest graduate from a Philadelphia dental school, ventures into the untamed west, armed with a mission - to combat the rampant 'oral ignorance.' His journey takes an unexpected twist when his path crosses with the notorious stagecoach robber, Penelope "Bad Penny" Cushing. Freshly pardoned and tasked with a new purpose, Bad Penny is on the hunt to dismantle a covert ring of gun smugglers supplying armaments to the Indians. In an elaborate scheme, she ensnares the unsuspecting Haywood into a sham marriage, using the disguise to seamlessly blend into a wagon train. Oblivious to the intricacies of his new life, Haywood stumbles into heroism, earning the moniker "Doc the Haywood." His exploits include the dramatic takedown of "Arnold the Kid" and a series of daring feats, all undertaken with the hidden assistance of his cunning wife, Penny. "The Shakiest Gun in the West" weaves a charming tale of misadventure and unexpected courage, where the west's most unlikely hero emerges, all under the guise of fighting oral ignorance. It's a beguiling journey of wild west antics, concealed identities, and the birth of a bumbling hero. As the tale unfolds, the audience is left to wonder how long Haywood can remain in the dark about his wife's true identity and his own accidental heroism.
