Scar Malone and Bella Du Ball have opened the "Made-In-Paris Hat Shop" in Brooklyn, New York.  Posing as Monsieur Beau Weevil and Mademoiselle Fifi Du Bayou, they cheat their unsuspecting rich clients.  With the aid of Scar’s snarling nephew, Dogtemper, they are also running a sweatshop employing waifs from the local orphanage.  To complicate matters, Beau Weevil has lost all the hat shop’s profits at the horsetrack!  Enter Cora Cornseed from Dead Man’s Bend, Arizona.  Long ago, Beau saved an old desert prospector, Cora’s father, from dying of thirst by giving him mosquito larvae-infected water.  Before the prospector died, he arranged to send his sweet daughter, Victoria, to be protected and educated by the villain whom he mistakenly believed to be a good man.  Trailing Victoria to the big city is her true love Johnny Sage, "The Arizona Kid."  He believes in three things.  Law and order and he can’t remember the third.  Beau and Fifi discover Victoria is filthy rich and the villain is to manage her business affairs!  Be amazed by the culture clash between the city sophisticates and simple folk from the Old West!  When you’re trapped in this villain’s web, there’s only one way out...  laugh!
