action
A group of Serbian immigrants experienced adventure and excitement in the American Midwest in the mid-19th century when the Kosmaj farmers, including a clergyman and a man in a wheelchair, met residents of the Wild West . You land in a semi-deserted town called Happy Town. Actually, the immigrants were looking for a country where there are no rebellions, war or wolves and where you can live and work peacefully. Of necessity, however, some farmers get involved in various brawls in saloons and do not act helplessly even in shootings in the streets. Even in seemingly hopeless situations, they know how to pull their heads out of the noose, and their ability to handle a Gemini with unusual precision helps them repeatedly .
The not quite young Julie tries again and again to find a man to marry. As soon as she has been married to you, the respective man dies shortly after the ceremony in a shootout, a drinking binge or falls through unfortunate circumstances to his death or someone ends his life in another unnatural way. Since it is now known that no man who said yes to Julie, who survived for a long time, the men tear away in rows, which does not prevent the resolute woman from trying again and again. In this way she catches the next best person ripping by with the lasso and drags him in front of the altar. As soon as the man has said “yes” following Julie's example, it seems to dawn on him what that means and he tries to flee, whereupon he is knocked down by a shot.
The farmer Sibin comes into Julie's field of vision, but several attacks have been carried out on him before Julie even succeeded in landing with him before the justice of the peace. In the end, however, Sibin got her despite all odds. It also turns out why so many men lost their lives after marrying Julie. The man in the wheelchair wanted her for himself and paid his helpers for these murders.
