Movie Description
A tongue-in-cheek western that sees Dino as a gunrunner. He and a Spanish aristocrat battle Indians and chase skirts across the Texas countryside.
Synopsis
A Spanish nobleman gets mixed up with cowboys and Indians in this offbeat western comedy.
After Don Andrea accidentally kills his bride-to-be's ex-lover, he goes on the lam to avoid capture. He heads off to Texas, where his beautiful Southern belle fiancée, Phoebe, says she will meet him.
However, along the way, Andrea teams up with Texan Sam Hollis and his Indian sidekick Kronk, who are running guns through hostile Comanche territory and need a skilled rifleman. Although Andrea's gun skills are sharp, his lack of experience in this hostile environment leads to hilarious results.
Romantic complications develop when Phoebe catches up with Andrea but falls for Sam. Making the situation even more chaotic, Andrea becomes attracted to a young Indian woman.
