Plot

Outlaw Buzz Buzzard has been terrorizing a small western town and makes it his duty to dispose of any and all sheriffs. Woody Woodpecker soon rides into town, becomes the new sheriff, and vows to get rid of Buzz. However, when he meets Buzz in person, He becomes a scaredy-woodpecker and traps himself in his own star as Buzz fires at him. After Woody and Buzz share a few drinks, they pit their wits against each other. Their confrontation reaches its climax when Sheriff Woody traps the bandit in a burning stove and tosses a box of dynamite in with him, killing Buzz in the process. The now-ghostly Buzz frolics over to two elevators: one takes him to heaven, " (Going up)!" and another leads to hell, " (GOIN' DOWN!). Woody kicks Buzz into the elevator that leads to hell and does his trademark laugh finishing his duties as Sheriff. Iris out.
