Tresette, a man of peaceful disposition, constantly runs
into his arch enemy Poison. Tresette drifts into the town of Bad Apple and must
immediately get rid of three Sicilians who mistake him for the suitor of one of
their wives. In collaboration with the false Sheriff Bambi, he agrees to carry
a cargo of gold to Dallas. In the wagon of a traveling salesman they transport
the gold and run into a series of ambushes by outlaw gangs. In Dallas they face
the risk of being hanged because the gold is nothing but lead sprinkled with
glitter. The duo escapes from jail, and disguise themselves as maharajah and
his wife. They attend a masquerade ball organized by the banker Pearson, who
has used the two as a decoy for the true destination of the gold. In fact, the
precious metal is hidden in cakes and is being shipped to Mexico, but Tresette
and Bambi after learning of the plan of the dishonest banker steal the gold.
