?Frank Sinatra stars as the Wild West?s greatest con artist and petty badman in this raucous, off-color comedy where the laughs keep rolling. When super-sly conniver Dingus Magee (Sinatra) runs into old acquaintance Hoke Birdsill (George Kennedy), Dingus does what any friend would do?he robs him. The irate Hoke promptly reports this outrage to the local bordello queen/mayor, who just promptly appoints Hoke town sheriff. Armed with a badge and a $10 reword, he sets out in hot pursuit of the wily Magee, beginning an uproarious series of misadventures, double-crosses and ludicrous liaisons in this wild-and-woolly send-up of ?the code of the West?. - fr cover Directed by Burt Kennedy Writing credits David Markson (The Ballad of Dingus Magee) Tom Waldman Cast (in credits order)verified as complete Frank Sinatra ....
