Plot
In 1881, in Big Whiskey, Wyoming, two cowboys — Quick Mike and "Davey-Boy" Bunting — slash prostitute Delilah Fitzgerald's face with a knife, permanently disfiguring her, after she laughs at Quick Mike's small penis. As punishment, local sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett orders the cowboys to turn over several of their horses not to Delilah but to her employer, Skinny DuBois, for the loss to him of her ability to attract customers. The rest of the prostitutes are outraged by the sheriff's decision and offer a $1,000 reward to anyone who kills the cowboys.
