In the Old West, the tourist Stooges get their picture taken by a photographer as the sheriff arrives with a photo of the notorious Deadly Doodles Gang to be printed on wanted posters. The Doodles see to it that the photos are mixed up, with the Stooges being plastered across the wanted posters. Once the posters circulate, the new-in-town Stooges are chased by the townspeople for the promised five-thousand-dollar reward. Disguised as Indians, they hide within a Native American settlement, and discover the Doodles' gunrunning operation.
