Summary

In the Old West, a corrupt politician schemes to drive residents off their land to clear the way for a railroad, appointing a Black sheriff named Bart to the frontier town of Rock Ridge in hopes the townspeople will revolt. Teaming up with washed-up gunslinger Jim, the Waco Kid, Bart must outwit the villains and win over the bigoted townsfolk in Mel Brooks's anarchic, fourth-wall-breaking Western satire.
