A drought has put the Silver Slipper Saloon in financial trouble. Owner, Maggie May, and her girls have tried to diversify, but their attempts to stimulate new business have not been successful; her recent attempt at the a Flapjack Flipping Contest has hardly raised enough money to clear the debt!!!

With her bank overdraft already long overdrawn, Maggie thinks the arrival of a strange looking fellow off the stagecoach will mean the end of her business for good. The way the characters pull together to save the town provides a rootin’ tootin’ ton of fun!!!
