action
"Revolver Kid" Anderson left the American western town Small Lands Hill to run a circus in his home country Sweden. When his old buddy Old Joe is in trouble, the Kid sends his son Lucky to check on him. Lucky rides a donkey in the town and emphasizes his membership in the "Association for the Protection of Children Traumatized by Shootings", but can handle the weapon perfectly. Old Joe, who owns the land in the area, has to deal with the bandit Gonzalez, who wants the property because of oil deposits, and with Indians who are looking for the buried hatchet. However, they are peaceful until they have found it.
Lucky is appointed sheriff by the corrupt judge, who works with Gonzalez, and begins with the first cleanup work until a girl dance troupe, accompanied by a bard, disturbs the area and especially the gang members. Instead of using weapons, the focus is on the search for flowers and amorous advances. In the whole mess, only Lucky keeps track of things, who finally corrects the situation in Small Lands Hill by means of a mass brawl.
