In a parody of ‘Fistful of Dollars”, Franco and Ciccio are two gun salesmen, who despise violence, and are roaming the Far West. Stopping in the village of Saint Genevieve on the border between Mexico and the United States they hope to sell a lot of weapons as the town is full of bandits and criminals. Saint Genevieve turns out to be a very peaceful town and Franco and Ciccio decide to stay. When a stagecoach carrying a beautiful girl arrives in town Franco falls for her. The girl is Marisol the servant of Captain Hernandez who is married to the beautiful Consuelo. It turns out Consuelo has been carrying on an adulterous affair with Don Ramon Cocos. Franco and Ciccio are caught in the Cocos’ hacienda and arrested as thieves. It seems Ramon also has a girlfriend Carmencita, a daughter of the Benton’s, the village’s other powerful family. A family feud develops over the affairs and gunmen are called in by both sides and gun sales increase dramatically. Fernandez takes his revenge on Franco and Ciccio when he catches them in bed with his wife and challenges them to a duel on main street. Both are saved when they tie tomato cans on under their ponchos to stop the bullets of Fernandez and escape back to the United States.
