About

A railroad worker becomes sheriff of Rock Ridge, where a territorial attorney general is trying to force residents out for a new railroad.

On the American frontier in 1874, a new railroad under construction must be rerouted through the town of Rock Ridge to avoid quicksand. Territorial attorney general Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) plans to force the town's residents out and sends a gang led by his henchman Taggart (Slim Pickens) to make Rock Ridge uninhabitable. The townspeople ask Governor William J. Le Petomane (Mel Brooks) to appoint a new sheriff.

Lamarr persuades the governor to appoint Bart (Cleavon Little), a Black railroad worker, as Rock Ridge's sheriff. Lamarr expects that a Black sheriff will offend the townspeople and create chaos, leaving the town at his mercy. Bart signs up Jim (Gene Wilder), the Waco Kid, as his deputy.
