New York, early 20th century: Miss Wiloughstone, a journalist, is preparing her story about a local magnate's private collection of paintings. To her great surprise, behind each painting is a tall tale. The dark fantasies of Betsy, a sultry young woman living in the depths of the Bayou; the fate of a disastrous treasure hunt in the heart of Arizona; the terrible mission of the 100 bastards of New Mexico... Landscapes parade past, horses gallop, cowboys piss sideways!
