Synopsis

Captain Senkstake and sailor Bruno are shipwrecked in America. They run into an old gold digger who offers to take them to the nearest town, Bloody City. On the way they are being attacked by Black Jack and his bandits. The old man is shot and Senkstake and Bruno decide to make it to Bloody City on their own to hand the old man's bag of gold to his daughter. Bloody City suffers under a severe lack of law as Black Jack uses to shoot the sheriff of the week every Wednesday at noon. When Captain Senkstake arrives in town, the citizens immediately make him the new sheriff. Little does Senkstake know of the job's dangers, but soon enough his courage and wit make him a real problem for Black Jack and his gang.
