Samurai Cowboy

A Japanese man who always wanted to be a cowboy arrives in Montana and teams up with an African American singer, a bullied Native American, a cute veterinarian and an old cowboy to save a ranch. When his best friend dies of an heart attack due to permanent stress at work, the Japanese businessman Yutaka Soto quits and fulfills himself a dream: he buys a ranch in Montana to live on. However, the ranch turns out to be due for demolition and the welcome by the people is less than friendly: Hotel owner Cord Wingate wanted the ranch and now sabotages Yutaka. Only veterinarian Jessy and an old cowboy help him. —Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
