A rollicking queer Western like nothing you've seen before.In a sleepy town in the Wild West, the women drift through their days like tumbleweed. Their husbands, swept up in the goldrush, have been missing for almost a year and show no sign of returning. In fact, the town is almost cut off from outsiders entirely, with only one drunken sheriff for protection.That is until handsome bandit Jack Cannon swaggers up to the town’s saloon, looking for a place to hide from the bounty hunters on his tail. Armed with a wink, and with a gun by his side, Jack’s explosive arrival inspires a gender revolution, and starts a fire under the petticoat of every one of the town’s inhabitants.
