Synopsis

Stetson City, Arizona, year 1885. In the Trigger Whisky Saloon, the drunken gunmen's routine brawl is under way, and the only thing that can stop it is the song of the bewitching Tornado Lou, platonic love of Doug Badman, the saloon's owner. The representatives of the Arizona Revivalist Movement, the tender blonde Winifred and her father Ezra Goodman, try in vain to preach a better life without alcohol to the tough saloon visitors who only hurl insults at them. But then the charismatic cowboy Lemonade Joe enters the saloon, all dressed in white. He propagates the drinking of Colaloca lemonade and demonstrates his steady gunfighter's hand in a shootout with the boor Grimpo and the bank robbers. The gunmen become the customers of the newly opened Goodman's bar and all abstain from drink. Winifred and Tornado Lou both fall for Joe. Doug's brother Horace comes to lend a hand. The gunmen start drinking again. Joe wants to marry Winifred but the criminal Horace kidnaps her. Alcohol treacherously planted in the bottle of Colaloca temporarily takes care of Lemonade Joe. Doug, Horace and Tornado Lou all kill each other in a fierce fight. The cocoa stains the size of a Mexican dollar that all three have at their forearms reveal to Joe that they are his long-lost relatives. The owner of the Colaloca factory, their father, brings them all back to life with his miraculous lemonade. The family reunion is crowned with a new product - the alcohol-free invigorating Whiscola - and now they will all work together under the motto "Hero or baddie, we've all got one daddy".
