An old geezer recalls some of the antics of the men and women of his western town, more wild and woolly than Tombstone or Dodge City. In this town no one is a good shot, the women are hungry for new meat, and practical jokers abound. A stranger strolls into town, proving resistant to the mayhem, and after donning some cowboy duds begins cleaning up that town.

Quick Answer

What is Wild Gals of the Naked West about?

Wild Gals of the Naked West is a 1962 American comedy western directed by Russ Meyer about an old geezer recalling the antics of a wild frontier town where a stranger resists chaos and tries to clean up the place.

Programmer's Pick

Russ Meyer’s wild West is all busty bravado and Keystone Cops slapstick, as topless lasses and bumbling gunslingers run amok. If you fancy your Westerns with a side of undress and more gags than gunfights, this is your whistle-stop.
