In the American West of 1874, a corrupt politician, Hedley Lamarr, hatches a plot to acquire valuable land by appointing a black railroad worker, Bart, as the sheriff of the small frontier town, Rock Ridge. Lamarr believes the racist inhabitants will reject Bart, thereby causing chaos that will drive them away, leaving the land ripe for his taking. Unbeknownst to Lamarr, his plan sets the stage for an unconventional hero to emerge. Bart, initially met with hostility, uses his wits and unconventional methods to win the townspeople's trust.

Joining forces with Jim, the Waco Kid, a washed-up, sharp-shooting gunslinger with a troubled past, Bart concocts a series of clever schemes to thwart Lamarr's henchmen and protect the town. As Bart and Jim's friendship flourishes, they rally the town's residents to stand against Lamarr's diabolical plot, leading to a series of uproarious and unconventional confrontations. Through their efforts, they not only challenge the status quo but also redefine the townspeople's views on race and leadership.
