Once upon a time the post of law officer in Primrose City was downright unhealthy. That was until Fletcher Bissell, known as the Silver Dollar Kid, and bearing an uncanny resemblance to an actor named Phil Silvers, rode into town. Now the Kid had a reputation as the slowest gun and the biggest coward in the West. Yet as Sheriff of Primrose City he tamed the gunfighters without firing a shot - none would risk his reputation by drawing against the Kid.
The good citizens of the town were delighted. But to the bad citizens this situation was intolerable, and they decided the only way to dispose of the Kid was to find someone even slower on the draw and an even greater coward. The man for the job was Chick (Chicken) Finsterwald, who happened to be the spitting image of Jack Benny.
And so, one hot day about high noon, Chicken Finsterwald came face to face with the Kid...
