Welcome to the peaceful little town of Doubtful, Wyoming, which has more than its fair share of kill-crazy gunslicks, back-shooters, and flat-out dirty desperadoes. It also has a sheriff named Cotton Pickens, who tries his best to keep law and order without getting his head blown off before breakfast. ,Doubtfulâ€™s Got A New Deputyâ€¦For The Moment,Cotton Pickens got where he is by virtue of a quick draw and slow wit. He knows the difference between lawbreakers you have to lock upâ€¦and the kind you might as well just let go. Deputy Rusty Irons, though, ainâ€™t the sharpest tool in the shed. Someone kidnapped Rustyâ€™s mail order brides. They were probably doing Irons a favor, but a deputy in love is blind. ,As for the carny barkers, medicine show con artists and revival-meeting fly-by-nighters who pass through Doubtfulâ€¦Cotton just tries to keep the traveling hucksters moving. But in one terrible moment it all goes to hell. Thatâ€™s when Doubtful explodes in a frenzy of killing and bloodshed. Thatâ€™s when a lawman like Cotton earns his pay by looking evil straight in the eye. Of course, thereâ€™s also the matter of keeping his new deputy alive and in one piece.
