Plot

Two bumbling good ol' boys, Ben and Booger, are thrown off a train after failing to show their tickets. They wander into a saloon/brothel and attempt unsuccessfully to cheat their way into a fortune at the card table.

Penniless, they try to trade their shotgun for a loan at the bank, causing a teller to sound the alarm. They try to escape by hitching a lift from a driver who thinks they’re stealing his car at gunpoint, and runs away to demand that they face justice. The sheriff forms a posse to capture them, but two of his soldiers are terrorized by Ben and Booger with their shotgun and allow them to steal their horse and uniforms. The captain of the posse orders the two bogus troopers to join the hunt, and there is a chaotic chase across the west, with gunfights galore. Ben and Booger escape by train into Mexico, but can’t find their tickets, so once again they get flung off the train. We’re left to assume that they’re off to launch their next fraudulent scheme.
