Synopsis/Details
Texas, 1895. Rogue cowboy Roy hails from a long line of outlaws that made their name (not always successfully!) in a new and expanding enterprise – the jail break! Now, going straight and setting-up a used-horse stall next to a steam-car showroom (owned by the unscrupulous Clint Richards), his rival has stolen his customers ... and his sweetheart Patty's hand in marriage. After accidentally destroying Clint's entire automobile enterprise one night, Roy is woken in jail by three ruthless Texas Rangers. The Rangers have a side hustle printing Wanted Posters and chasing down 'criminals' to collect on bounties. They have heard of his family’s notorious ways and Roy has a choice - break out his rival by midnight, or Roy will be wanted instead – dead or alive! Gathering his rag-tag posse, Roy begrudgingly busts out Clint - but with the Rangers hot on their tails, a chance encounter with an Indian Chieftain gives them hope that Roy’s father is not quite as 'departed' as they think ... and they're going to need help from the best jail break artist this side of the Mississippi if Roy is to win Patty’s affection, gain their freedom and defeat Ranger Tex Byrne --- for good!
