Three bumbling silent film stars have only just lost their jobs when they immediately receive a telegram from Mexico, which appears to offer them 100,000 pesos to appear in a show south of the border with El Guapo. Arriving, they find the gig has much higher stakes than they imagined. Underrated western spoof, highlights including a remarkable performance of "My Little Buttercup."
