The Barbers of San Joaquin, are Tony and Bart. Two bungling outlaws that just can't seem to make it pay. Deciding to go legit, they buy a barbershop in San Joaquin, California, a dusty little stage stop. Tony cuts hair and tells stories while Bart entertains by throwing his knife into the porch post attracting customers from the stage. "Marsha Taylor Wells, Dead or Alive" is the latest story added to the "Tales of the West." Marshal Taylor and his deputy, Standish Colbert accept the job of bringing Charlie "Moon Face" Morgan to justice. Moon has other idea's.
