A narrator tells us that in the days of the Old West, times were tough. With no law and order, bandits roamed around free to commit any crime with western outlaw, "Pretty Boy" McCoy being the worst of the bunch. Fortunately, a famous detective, Inspector Willoughby, is called in at last to capture McCoy. He arrives in Doughnut Center ("What a hole!" says the Inspector) and finds McCoy playing cards in a bar.
