Black cattle farmer Meredith is arrested by the racist Dixie sheriff of Leek Gulch, who confiscates his beloved cow Josephine on account of an absurdly high fine. The governor grants him only the services of a Chinese marshal who only makes up for his miserable shooting and riding skills with his martial arts. These skills are no use in preventing both of them being pitched and feathered. So he hires an 'assistant': his old friend Lucky Luke, who sends for a judge. Meanwhile the trio faces the sheriff's family, entirely crazy and blood-thirsty (the grandpa is worst of all) apart for one son (the saloon keeper), but impatient idiot Meredith gets himself arrested as semi-accidental cattle thief.
