The stars of this military farce were the gallant incompetents of
F Troop at Fort Courage, somewhere west of the Missouri, in
post-Civil War days. The CO was the wide-eyed, bumbling Captain
Parmenter, who had been promoted from private during the closing
days of the war when he accidentally led a charge in the wrong
direction, toward the enemy. Unbeknowst to the captain, Sgt.
O'Rourke had already negotiated a secret, and highly profitable
treaty with the Hekawi Indians, from whom he also had an exclusive
franchise to sell their souvenirs to tourists. There was no peace
treaty with the Shugs, however, and they sometimes caused trouble.
Cpl. Agarn was O'Rourke's chief aid and assistant schemer, and
Wrangler Jane the hard-riding, fast-shooting cowgirl who was out to
marry Parmenter.

they all re-lax in town, before they re-sume with a bang and a boom
