Plot
The short opens in the town of Canasta Flats in 1889, panning past the Last Chance Saloon and the Next to the Last Chance Saloon and into the Fat Chance Saloon, where the patrons hang out. A mustached cowboy tells his friend that he hears that Yosemite Sam is in town, to which his friend makes up an excuse about leaving a cake in the oven and flees. A card-playing cowboy tells his friend that Yosemite Sam is swinging his fastest gun of the West, to which Injun Joe tells them that that is because Yosemite Sam has never met him. When Yosemite Sam is spotted approaching the saloon, Injun Joe goes out to have a showdown with him, only to be instantly shot off-screen (with a customer gulping down the beer Injun Joe handed him to hold).
