| SYNOPSIS |
| This wild and hilarious tale is set in the old West,- specifically the Kansas Territory. A corrupt Judge successfully forecloses on a hapless family, the Ringo's. Our young hero, Johnny Ringo, finds a poor expectant girl wandering in a blizzard. Of course, he brings her home to have his dear mother care for her. The story takes a new turn when it becomes clear that the menacing Judge is unaware that Ringo's father (who the Judge shot in the back) discovered a gold mine and left it to his family. Johnny's brother, a very fey William, spills the beans about the gold mine and now the Judge decides to team up with a blood thirsty tribe of Indians to attack the fleeing Ringo's and steal the map to the gold mine. But the real mystery is who is this young waif Johnny brought home? And who is the father of the baby she is carrying? Of course the answer is the surprise of the story. |
