Aquel loco loco Oeste (1975)
El ingenuo granjero de Iowa Lewis Tater sueña con ser un famoso novelista del Oeste como su héroe, Zane Grey. Se marcha de casa para responder al anuncio de un curso de escritura por correspondencia que también ofrece clases en el campus, pero descubre que la escuela es una estafa: consiste en una hilera de buzones en una estación de tren aislada de Nevada. Huyendo de los estafadores responsables, Lewis se topa con vaqueros "de verdad": actores vaqueros que ruedan una película en el desierto. El aspirante a escritor pronto se encuentra actuando en películas del Oeste, para el estudio Tumbleweed Productions, en el Hollywood de la era de la Depresión.
