Plot:
After landing in an unknown town in the middle of nowhere, our hero, Buster, finds an advertisement for an expert shooting gallery attendant from a borrowed newspaper. With a stone-cold face and a loaded revolver, Buster manages to land a job at Tiny Tim's gallery--an innocent front for the secret criminal society known only as the Blinking Buzzards. Now, Buster has a death contract to take care of, and on top of that, a new employee who wants to hire him as a bodyguard. Can Buster be in two places at once?
