Get ready to ride the range of humor in one of the most
entertaining westerns to come down the trail in quite a spell.
The year is 1888, and Johnny Hightree and his cousin Asa Maynard
are two old ex-buffalo hunters and frontiersmen who have
temporarily settled in the small town of Ralston, Kansas, not far
from Dodge City. They are both serious elbow-benders and seem to be
in a constant state of semi-inebriation. Johnny, however, has
endeared himself to the town's residents with his far-fetched
windies and good nature, thereby getting himself elected mayor.
When a fatal shooting occurs in town with several witnesses
including Johnny, the town council curiously reduces Johnny's
position from mayor to town marshal. Johnny then chooses his
half-pickled cousin Asa to be his deputy, and that's when the
future of Ralston, Kansas gets changed forever.
With an amusing, rambling style, Johnny Hightree relates the
progress of solving a murder that is not as simple as it seemed in
the beginning. The outlandish stories he tosses in along the way
are funny, earthy, and downright priceless, told at a pace that
ends just in time!
