There are a lot of ways a man can end up on a wanted poster.
There's the easy way (murder), there's the hard way (robbery), and then there's Dooley Monahan's way (by accident.
) On the trail west with his trusty horse and dog, the hapless gunslinger stops a mean, hungry bear from making lunch out of the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody.
In turn, Cody grubstakes Dooley for the purchase of a silver mine in the lawless, violent boomtown of Leadville, Colorado.
Dooley can't believe his good luck.
But when he guns down three deadly outlaws, the grateful townsfolk pin a sheriff's badge on Dooley.
And that's when his luck runs out .
Turns out there's a war going on between two rival gangs.
Stagecoaches are being robbed every other day, and fingers are being pointed at Dooley himself.
There's a tradition here in these parts, he discovers.
If a sheriff's no good, they hang him.
And if the next one's no better, they hang him twice .
