Adventures of a Wild West card player on his way to the big game on a pleasure steamer.
The Gibson of Lethal Weapon transposes to the Wild West in this semi-spoof transposition of the TV series (complete with its original star in a major role), with plenty of indulgences by both director and stars, at rather an extended length. Scenically very attractive, in spite of all the longeurs.
