Jimmy returns to his village in Niger from a trip to the USA, bearing gifts of cowboy outfits for his friends. Draping themselves in the myths of the American West, they adopt new names - Black Cooper, James Kelly, Casse-Tout and Reine Christine instead of Kali, Ibrahim and Boubakar - and start acting out their Wild West fantasy, laying waste to the neighborhood, to the fury of the villagers.
