[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

TV cowboy star Rance McGrew is ready to shoot a scene in which Jesse James shoots him in the back when he suddenly finds himself in a real Old West saloon. The real Jesse James walks in and explains that he, Billy the Kid and other famous outlaws are not pleased with the way that they are portrayed on McGrew's show. James then challenges McGrew, who has never shot a gun in his life, to a showdown. McGrew attempts to flee, but James corners him. McGrew drops to his knees, pleading. He says that he will do anything if James will only spare him. James accepts. McGrew finds himself back on the set, and his agent is announced. The agent turns out to be Jesse James himself in Hollywood garb, come to ensure that outlaws get their due — beginning with the TV bad guy throwing McGrew out the saloon window.
