A Genius, Two Friends, and an Idiot
In the saddle... In the sack... In the sand
A lighthearted Western caper built on con-artist schemes, double-crosses, and ensemble chemistry, where the pleasure lies in the elaborate heist mechanics and comedic banter rather than emotional depth.
Expert conman Joe Thanks teams up with half-breed Bill and naive Lucy to steal $300,000 from the Indian-hating Major Cabot. Their elaborate plan is full of disguises, double-crosses, and chases, but Joe always seems to know what he's doing.
