The Fastest Guitar Alive
Near the ending days of the Civil War, a group of Confederacy spies traveling under guises of musicians are tasked to steal a shipment of gold. Anything goes wrong, one spy (Roy Orbison) has a bullet-shooting guitar handy - just in case. The South is losing the Civil War and the coffers are nearly empty. A group of Confederate spies steals a shipment of gold in San Francisco and attempts to deliver it to a Confederate general in El Paso. Others know about the gold and seek to steal it from them, but the spies have a secret weapon: a guitar that shoots bullets.... —George S. Davis Confederate super-spy Roy Orbison and his partner in crime Sammy Jackson travel to San Francisco near the end of the Civil War, masquerading, respectively, as a singer/guitar instructor and a magic-elixir vendor. Once there, Orbison dons a wig, beard and mustache, and steals Union gold to bring back to the South, aided by a guitar that doubles as a gun. The end of the Civil War tragically ruins their plan to hand over their ill-gotten loot to a Southern general. —Paul Caden
