A lighthearted Western comedy about an outsider challenging cattle-town conventions with sheep, built on playful conflict and genre subversion rather than genuine menace.

A stranger in a Western cattle-town behaves with remarkable self-assurance, establishing himself as a man to be reckoned with. The reason appears with his stock: a herd of sheep, which he intends to graze on the range. The horrified inhabitants decide to run him out at all costs.
