Synopsis

Oh, woe is Clem Chowder of Skunk County! Just an average American (as he proudly proclaims at the drop of a horseshoe), he finds himself chased by lovesick women, greedy bankers and a sheriff who's ready to slip a noose around his neck. (And the day started off so nice, too.) All Clem wants to do is catch some horse thieves. His plan? Dress up two of his co-workers as a horse and the sheriff as a woman. Well, he didn't say it was a great plan. In fact, it doesn't turn out to even be a good plan. Sadly, while answering a lot of questions about his wardrobe, the sheriff has his own horse stolen. And who was seen stealing it? Clem! This spoof has a wide assortment of oddball characters, from a gunslinger who moonlights as a baseball umpire to a love-smitten schoolmarm who nobody can understand. This wisecracking, riotous farce can either be done as a slapstick melodrama or a western spoof. Either way, laughter will abound as you horse around with it!
