Bat Lash wears a flower in his hat, loves pretty women and fine food, declares, "I hate violence!" but stumbles into trouble time and again. He flees an angry boyfriend, shoots a pheasant on the way to the town of Welcome. He requests the delicious cook prepare pheasant in aspic, and tours the town procuring supplies, punching, shooting, and clobbering villains at every turn. He's cleaned up the town, and sits to eat his pheasant - which the cook poisoned! She's the mastermind, and Bat graciously escorts her to jail. He rides out, having lost his taste for pheasant.
