The basic premise of the movie is to poke fun at the conventions and clichés of Spaghetti Westerns, which is accomplished by the juxtaposition of serious elements with the parody that Pasanen was famous for.
Meanwhile, two of the world's worst gunslingers are matching their skills and the desperate desperado Clyde is trying to rob a bank with abysmal success...
The film's Western town sets were re-purposed from the Finnish TV skit-show Kivikasvot (from the segment Päivä Lännessä, "A Day in the West").
Vesa-Matti Loiri intended to play the part of Clyde but broke his leg in an accident and was replaced by Melasniemi just prior to filming.
Jukka Virtanen, who has a minor role in the film as the town drunkard, also wrote the lyrics for the two songs in the film: Haaskalinnut saalistaa, performed by Spede, and Hämeen Hitain, performed by Salminen and released as a stand-alone single but not heard in the actual movie.
