West of Hot Dog
About West of Hot Dog
On the stagecoach into Hot Dog, Stan is robbed, and his pants fall each time he lifts his hands. Lawyer Jones reads a will that leaves him everything, including a saloon, unless he dies, in which case two outlaws inherit. They throw him out a second-story window, rob the saloon, and then fail to shoot him at Bad Mike's house because they keep hitting each other. Stan captures Mike when the sheriff arrives by car. Little Mustard takes an interest, and Stan walks off.
