“GET RICH OR TRY DYIN'”
In the wild West, Elmer McCurdy dies after a failed robbery, but death is only the start of his strange journey. His body is sold, displayed, and passed from one carnival to another, mistaken for a prop for decades. A darkly funny, haunting tale of a man who became more famous dead than alive.

Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.

Bandleader/Walter Jarrett
As a cowardly farmer begins to fall for the mysterious new woman in town, he must put his new-found courage to the test when her husband, a notorious gun-slinger, announces his arrival.
