The wild west has always been an endless source of customers for the Undertakers Union. But they are getting worried. Because of Lucky Luke, the death rate in Coffin Gulch is disgustingly low. Whenever Lucky steps in, death runs out the door. The Union sends their specialist to do some field work. Dastardly Deadflower is quick stir up a tornado of rumors that discredit Lucky.

Lucky arrives in Green Valey, Alabama, a town obsessed with cattle and domineered by the largest cow herd rancher. When the only sheep-herd mourns individually named sheep, believing them to be devoured by a huge monster, Lucky soon smells a rat, but still has to prove his suspicions, helped or rather hindered by a clumsy self-invited 'monster hunter'.
US Cavalry Colonel Oswald has orders to test fat Bertha, the White House's top-secret artillery pet project. Alas he looses control over it after the Daltons saw it, so they escape to get hold of it, but so want Indian chief Oochi Coochie and the now dismounted troopers.

Lucky is sent to check on Fort McCallister, which guards the Fake Tattoo Indians. He finds everything is peaceful. The commander's elderly but bossy mother, Julia, meets and falls in love with the chief's equal old and senile father Trilling Otter, which the brothers-in-law-to-be want to prevent at all cost. So the lovebirds elope.
Lucky arrives in a small town when mad general Custer is campaigning for president there against Gneral Grant's supporters. Each side aspires hero Luck's reluctant support. Custer's terrible temper hurt him despite a good campaign adviser, but his dog-phobia and panic fear for bad luck bringer Rataplan prove as crucially self-fulfilling.
Lightning renders dumbo Averill smart enough to lead a Daltons escape and evil, seizing command from Joe and aiming to rob Fort Knox. While Lucky Luke sets chase, the lightning wears off, so Joe goes looking for more electricity to reproduce the effect, but can only recur to a rain-dancing Indian medicine-man.
Lucky investigates when a town gets divided over whether to believe that cattle theft is the doing pf green Martians arrived by flying saucer, or cleverly covering-up thieves as Luke assumes. Even an Indian medicine man seizes his chance to sell 'alien repellent' talismans.
The Daltons escape from Denver prison, over the Coloroda border, to Utah, the only state where they are still not wanted. So Lucky Luke has to wait before arresting them till they foul up, which is bound to happen as they met a slick con-artist who is bound to rival with them for the same victims.
After yet another escape, the Daltons are handed a baby by a mother, who rides away as diversion 'chased by villains'. Although the boy clearly bonds only with him, Joe first dumps noisy Junior on the old farmers, who adopt the godsend, then changes his mind to steal the baby back hoping it's worth a royal ransom.
Lucky Luke catches traveling performer Otto abusing his hypnotizer skill for theft. He's jailed with the Daltons, who convince him to escape together, form a robbery gang and take revenge on Lucky. Otto hypnotizes a whole town, but Lucky remembers some cancel and other commands. Otto resorts to hypnotizing his own side, with weird side-effects, and Averill learned the skill.
When (young) Billy the Kid is jailed in the same prison as the Daltons, both legends escape. They are hell-bent to outdo the rival, and foremost to get Lucky's scalp, even ignoring rich preys along their respective paths. Lucky manages to play them against each-other and jails all five. But the locals are so into betting on various sides that they decide to free all crooks. In this way they can continue the ultimate contest for the worst Wild West criminal, in which their respective supporters intervene.
