Ollie Orwell daydreams himself as Ollie the Kid, a fearless frontier marshal facing down the notorious villain Mean Murdley in Varmint City. What starts as a tense showdown turns into a comedy of errors as Mean Murdley keeps finding excuses for do-overs—slipped gun belts, sun in his eyes, faulty ropes—each time hoping for a better outcome.

After a slow start at the fishing hole, Ollie's luck takes an unexpected turn when he encounters something massive washed up on the beach—and he can't resist showing it off to his parents to settle the bet. Of course, there's a catch to his windfall that brings the whole scheme tumbling down.
