The Naughty Nineties

In the rough-and-tumble American West of the 1890s, two bumbling insurance salesmen, Bud and Lou, stumble into a local saloon, immediately finding themselves in over their heads. Their attempts to sell insurance policies quickly devolve into chaos as they inadvertently thwart a bank robbery and become entangled with a ruthless outlaw gang.
