Tumbleweeds roll through the small Old Western town. Hardly anyone visits except desperate bandits, which have struck again. This time their goal is Lulu.

Boss Sanchez pulls her up behind him, laughing maliciously. Gang members gallop around, raising dusty clouds.

Doors swinging, someone walks out from Wilson’s Wet Whistle. “Leave Lady Lu alone!”

“Look boys, another target. Get your guns ready!”

Somewhat heroically, gunslinger Guy strides forward, but stops when he steps in a pile of horse manure. While looking down, shots blast forth, going straight into his heart.

They ride off shouting, “Well, ain’t you having one crappy day!”
