Buffalo Bill plans to put on his own Wild West sideshow, and Chief Sitting Bull has agreed to appear in it. However, Sitting Bull has his own hidden agenda, involving the President and General Custer.

A boisterous, satirical look at mythmaking and cultural clashes. It feels like a wry, anachronistic history lesson delivered with a wink and a nudge, blending period spectacle with sharp, modern wit.
