Blazing Saddles

In 1874, construction on a new railroad will soon be going through Rock Ridge, a town inhabited exclusively by white people with the surname Johnson. The conniving attorney general Hedley Lamarr wants to force Rock Ridge's residents to abandon their town, thereby lowering land prices. With his quick wits and the assistance of Jim, an alcoholic gunslinger known as the "Waco Kid", Bart works to overcome the townspeople's hostile reception. Lamarr hatches a larger plan involving a recruited army of thugs, including common criminals, Ku Klux Klansmen, Nazis, and Methodists.
