Written by Eman Kanera and Frantisek Marvan.
A spoof Western from Czechoslovakia that won the prize for comedy at this year's Montreux Festival.
Directed by Eman Kanera for Czechoslovak Television

It is a hot day in the old West, where pistol shots ring out more often than church bells. Rancher Andrews lives with his daughter Daisy. When he is seized by gambling fever and gambles away her dowry at the saloon it is only the beginning... Sandy-The Noble-Minded Cowboy brings commercials to BBC-tv, but you are not likely to find in any shop the Supersquirt Fire Extinguisher whose virtues an attractive young lady extols when the sheriff blows up his office by sneezing gunpowder into an oil lamp while he sleeps.
