Stodge City is in the grip of the Rumpo Kid and his gang. Mistaken identity again takes a hand as a 'sanitary engineer' named Marshal P. Knutt is mistaken for a law marshal. Being the conscientious sort, Marshal tries to help the town get rid of Rumpo, and a showdown is inevitable. Marshal has two aids—revenge-seeking Annie Oakley and his sanitary expertise.
In the Wild West, the small town of Stodge City is terrorized by the Rumpo Gang. The local sheriff, unable to cope, calls for help from the 'strongest man in the West.' Due to a mix-up, the reinforcements sent are not the expected rugged lawmen, but a group of inept English sanitation workers. Sid James plays the dual role of the reformed outlaw 'The Rumpo Kid' and the honorable Marshal Mark Strong. The film culminates in a chaotic showdown where the sanitary workers must use their unique skills to save the day.
