在小镇上，一个年轻人游手好闲无所事事，于是他决定去纽约碰碰运气。影片讲述了1925年发生在美国西部牛仔的故事，风格搞笑幽默。 A young man who doesn't find a job in his small hometown, tries his luck in New York, but is overwelmed by the life of the city, so decides to try his luck somewhere else after a only a few minutes in New York. He falls off a train near a ranch, where he tries his luck as a cowbowy, being in his own way very sucessful. But he shows what he can do when the farm has to bring a 100 head of cattle to the slaughterhouses of Los Angeles to avoid going bankrupt, against the will of his neighbour who wants a better price. After a shoot-out with the neighbour's men he's the only person on a Los Angeles bound train with 1000 cows....。这是一部典型的日本黑色幽默喜剧，影片的主人公佐平次是个骗子式的人物，影片描写他在江户时代环境恶劣的妓院里如何巧妙地施展骗术，在各种阶层的人物之间混饭吃的生存术来表现善良的有缺点的小人物。但是，这种笑是沉重的，伤感的。影片从始至终贯穿着日本大众喜闻乐见的单口相声，在相声间穿插着佐平次被扣打工还账，在艺妓馆里混成了人见人爱的宝贝，又偶遇幕府末期的政治家高杉晋作，为救被卖进妓院的少女，同意协助晋作策划去烧品川的英国领事馆的故事。被称作 “落语”的日本单口相声与佐平次的故事情节相佐相辅，构成一出超级古装讽刺喜剧。主演该片的两位演员弗兰基界、石原裕次郎是曾风靡日本影坛的大众明星。编剧是后来成为著名导演的今村昌平。因此给观众的印象特别深刻。。
