What happens

Count Bobby, The Terror of The Wild West (German: Graf Bobby, der Schrecken des wilden Westens) is a 1966 Austrian musical comedy film directed by Paul Martin and starring Peter Alexander, Olga Schoberová and Gunther Philipp. It was the last in a trilogy of films featuring the character Count Bobby. It drew some inspiration from the ongoing series of Karl May film adaptations set in the Wild West. The film's sets were designed by the art director Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff. It was shot at studios in Belgrade, and on location around Yugoslavia which stood in for the American west as it frequently did in German films of the decade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
