action
The lonely cowboy Lucky Luke comes to the newly founded desert town of Daisy Town, where lawlessness reigns for the lack of a sheriff and fights and shootings are the order of the day. When he manages to get some outlaws to prison, he is enthusiastically appointed sheriff. However, when the Dalton brothers show up in town and make themselves popular with the people, the new law enforcement's warnings are ignored. Just as the leader of the four, Joe, is about to be elected mayor, Lucky Luke sows discord between the brothers. So they appear as criminals and have to leave the city. Shortly thereafter, the Daltons are captured by a nearby Indian tribe .
Joe, tied to the stake, devises a plan with which the Daltons want to take revenge on Daisy Town and at the same time regain freedom: He incites the Indians on the city by making them fear technical progress through the "pale faces" power. Joe is apparently successful at first, because the chief calls out war on the pale faces. However, the plan only works halfway, because instead of releasing the Daltons, the chief delivers them to the authorities because of the high bounty. Lucky Luke watches the Indians preparing for war, but is discovered while trying to sneak away during the medicine man's war dance. Thanks to the speed of Jolly Jumper and his eponymous luck, however, he can escape and inform the settlers in Daisy Town in the usual taciturn manner about the events.
An attempt is made to call for help from the cavalry , but the Indians have now enclosed the city, so that the couriers are damaged, but at least return to Daisy Town alive, much to the chagrin of the gravedigger . Even its "pet", the vulture, is caught and has to retreat plucked. So Lucky Luke comes up with a battle plan. He lets the settlers harness their wagons and pull them into the beginning battle, constantly driving in circles. The Indians ride around the settlers again in a circle, but in the opposite direction. On Luke's orders, the settlers now constantly change their direction of travel, which the Indians also respond to each time with a change of direction. In the meantime, a squad of cavalry accidentally reached the scene and also joined the fighting formation: They now circle the Indians, and the cavalry also takes part in every change of direction until the Indians get dizzy and end the fight.
A peace treaty is concluded with the Indians and Luke is to be declared an honorary citizen. At that moment, however, the news of a gold discovery reached the city, so that all residents of Daisy Town would leave and the place became a ghost town . Lucky Luke rides indifferently towards the sunset.

Reviews
“A comic film adaptation full of quotes from US westerns of the 50s, which derives its wit from the caricaturing representation of the clichés of the genre. Interesting and funny for western fans, but otherwise only moderately entertaining, as the comic effect is based on knowing the quotes. "
“Morris and the 'Asterix' copywriter Goscinny shot the snazzy parody of US westerns based on their own comic. Morris invented the figure of the puffing pistolero in 1947. "
"Cartoon with the adventures of the chain-smoking cowboy Lucky Luke, not as funny as the comic strip on which it is based, which, interestingly, seems much more cinematic than its adaptation."
