Armed with a wry sense of humor and a straight-shooting sidearm, James Garner (Maverick, My Fellow Americans) fights for peace, justice and fun in this delightful Western parody (Leonard Maltin) co-starring Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan and Jack Elam. On his way to Australia, frontier opportunist Jason McCullough (Garner) stumbles upon a small gold-rush town and decides to earn a little extra pocket money by accepting a temporary assignment as their sheriff. Happily applying himself to his new position, McCullough manages to turn the town derelict (Elam) into his deputy, outsmart the dreaded Danby clan (led by Brennan in a hilarious comic performance), and fend off the lusty advances of the mayor's daughter (Joan Hackett)--all without breaking a sweat or dirtying his shiny, black boots! Turning every Western chich on its head, writer/director William Bowers (The Gunfighter) and director Burt Kennedy (The War Wagon) keep the laughs rolling like tumbleweeds in this outrageous, irreverent and very funny (Los Angeles Times) farce that's sheer entertainment from start to finish (Boxoffice)!
