The Sunday Round-Up
The small church Ted Burke pastors in a small Western town struggles to thrive as all the men gather at Jack Higgins' Mustang Saloon every Sunday. Burke decides to ask Higgins to close his business on Sunday, but Higgins' only concern is to find a baritone to sing in the saloon's quartet, and has his henchies toss Ted out into the street. Ted decides to fight fire with fire, so he gathers up the down-and-out vaudeville act of Chase and Chase (who don't take long to show why they are down-and-out), knife-thrower Steve Clemente, and a dozen or so Western musicians from Gower Gulch as the before-the-sermon at his tabernacle. Higgins sends his rowdies over to bust up the Sunday-morning competition.
