Vault Note

Where else can you find a Western where the madam outguns the outlaws?

Programmer's Pick

Fandango rides headlong into the rougher territory of the Western, mixing gold-mining grit with a brothel full of trouble and temptation. John Hayes doesn't shy away from nudity or outlaw chaos, and the feisty madam proves more than a match for any gunslinger. If you like your cowboys sweaty and your saloons rowdy, saddle up.

Synopsis

A group of men travel deep into the mountains to create a gold-mining camp. Soon the campers find themselves bedeviled by a band of outlaws who destroy their food supply. When the miners begin pining for women, the leader and two miners go to town in search of prostitutes. They end up at the Fandango Saloon, where the leader is friends with the madam.
