It’s just a regular day in the Last Chance saloon, that is until foul mouthed regular Sam finds a bag of gold stashed away by the barkeep. The other patrons join in on the action, arguing over who is most deserving of the gold and what it should be spent on. They are quickly interrupted, however, by the most fearsome bandit in the west, and the true owner of the gold, intent on reclaiming his property by any means necessary... A farcical caper about cowboys, dynamite, and property damage.
