Eastwood plays a fun-loving hard guy who captures fugitives who have skipped out on their bail money; cons a villain into believing he has won a date with Dolly Parton, then shows up in a limousine and arrests him; dresses up as a rodeo clown and nabs a bad-guy bull rider on first bounce, just as the bull has tossed him.
